Ops Campaigns

AfricaArabia ROC Campaigns

Starting this August, we will be starting longer-term operations task management which we are calling campaigns. These will be conducted as needed, when there is a request from EGI, an ROC site or a user community, which requires coordinated action at most or all sites. The idea behind running a campaign is that will have a campaign leader, who is responsible for getting sites to stick to a schedule or taking action; campaigns are also time-limited, meaning that they have to have a start and an end.

While this is just another way of doing what we've always been doing, it will give some more visibility to important ROC-wide tasks and perhaps allow better delegation of tasks. Also, it will allow us to report better to supporting projects such as CHAIN-REDS and ei4Africa, as well as relying parties like EGI.eu. Ideally, campaigns should have

• A motivation
• a description of the work to be done.
• their own web page
• a calendar of actions and
• a hashtag.

Campaigns will be mostly documented on the Github wiki pages of the AAROC DevOps repo
