Sci-GaIA Ansible and federated Service Provider courses' dissemination video
No full textThe short dissemination video presents the Sci-GaIA project and its two courses on (i) Ansible-based DevOps and on (ii) how to turn a web-based service into a Service Provider of an Identity Federation, which were held in Catania on 25-30 October 2015. Both courses will soon appear on the Sci-GaIA Online Courses server (http://courses.sci-gaia.eu)
Data Repositories and Science Gateways for Open Science
No full textThe presentation introduces the concept of Open Science and shows how Open Access Repositories and Science Gateway have been exploited in the context of the Sci-GaIA project to actually implement it. The presentation has been made as part of the program of the UbuntuNet Connect 2015 Conference held in Maputo (Mozambique) on the 19-20 November 2015.

Sci-GaIA Open Access Data Repository Kit Concept Note
Get PDFThe Sci-GaIA project (www.sci-gaia.eu) is widely promoting to African Scientists the benefits of advanced ICT and Open Science . It has published a freely available, complete off-the-shelf Open Access Data Repository (OADR) kit for Africa (https://oar.sci-gaia.eu/record/20). This can be used by African bodies such as Universities and Research Institutes to promote their work openly through on-line open access. Significantly, National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) have a major role in supporting OADRs in Africa by leading national policies on OADRs, training to help set up institutional OADRs and potentially hosting OADRs on behalf of various institutes. This concept note outlines the Sci-GaIA vision

An affordable 3D-printed Solar Radiation Shield for Weather Stations
No full textWe report on an effort evaluating the use of 3D-printing in the design of weather station components. The first component studied is a solar irradation shield in the shape of a pagoda to be evaluated in the WIMEA-ICT project designing an affordable automated weather station for rural Africa. The design environment is based on open source software (OpenSCAD/Cura) and a 3D-printer in the 2000 EUR range, Ultimaker 2. Our conclusions are that 3D-printing is still much of an art but yet a powerful tool for prototyping before going to large volume production. The resulting files have been made available under a Creative Common license in the Sci-GaIA Open Access Repository. You are very welcome to print a few copies and join the evaluation activities. OpenSCAD and stereo-lithography files can be found at these links: https://oar.sci-gaia.eu/record/29, https://oar.sci-gaia.eu/record/30, https://oar.sci-gaia.eu/record/31, https://oar.sci-gaia.eu/record/32, https://oar.sci-gaia.eu/record/33, https://oar.sci-gaia.eu/record/34
