- Location available for 2 days (+1 day installation) including:

• Lecture theatre to be used for the morning presentations (with beamer and network access for online demo)
• Exercise room with a number of PCs on which the hands-on exercises can be run in the afternoon
• The PCs can run UNIX or Windows since the students only use them to connect to a EDG User Interface machine via ssh clients.
• The exercise room needs to have a good network connectivity to the Internet (usually at least 1Mbps).

- One (2 or 3 depending on how many student PCs are available) machine has to reserved locally for running the EDG UI:

- These UI machines need to run GNU/Linux RedHat 7.3 (in the best case 7.3.3 CERN version) and are used to ensure you don't need too much network bandwidth.

- Local user accounts on the UI for each student.

- A system manager person to install the EDG UI and manage the local installation. (We can help with that provided we get root access to the machine.)

- Creation of temporary certificates for each student via an existing EDG Certification Authority. Usually, for tutorials our CNRS CA can create certificates that are valid during the tutorial. We require to have the list of participants (incl. e-mail addresses) about 2 weeks before the tutorial session.

- DataGrid/LCG related personnel to give the presentations and help during the exercises (we can help suggest names). These people should have already attended the tutorial themselves to understand the material, issues involved and be able to answer questions.

- On-site printing of material to be given to students.

- Exceptionally, if the network infrastructure is not too good, we can also install a full small scale testbed well in advance of a possible event. This requires root access to at least 5 machines (running RedHat 7.3). We have provided a software distribution (the LCG-1 distribution of the EDG software) on DVD with manual installation instructions. This is mainly done in co-operation with LCG.

We would need to know the possible location & dates well in advance. Please check with us about suitable dates (to avoid clashes with other important EDG events.) We need to leave at least 2 working days between session in order to correct set-up of the virtual organization and complete tests.
