[NLPL Task Force (A)] Waldur

[Martin Matthiesen]

Hi,

I had a coffee with Tomazs after our VC and he mentioned Waldur[1] again, apparently a tool to control resources? Björn, Stephan, do you have more information on the concrete use case? Tomasz also told me that Sigma2 is not keen on adopting it to track resource usage, but CSC would be. I think the issue is "Infrastructure" and I propose we have a look at it.
Tomasz also filled me in on some of the issues with Dellingr and I told him that there was a bit of Chinese Whispers[2] going on. I appreciated him wanting to shield us from politics, but political problems usually need political solutions. I don't know how Infrastructure can help, but we can try.

Martin
