EBS program - for BCU:

3 teams, 1 objective

Abandonning Spec

Welcome BLISS

• Conda to install BCU software
  • blissbuilder becomes: building a Conda package hosted in bcu-ci.esrf.fr
  • blissinstaller becomes: "conda install" command

• Supervisor to start servers and daemons
  • no need for bliss_dserver anymore

2. Towards BLISS 1.0.0

Starting with 1.0.0:

- semantic versioning

- BLISS Conda package

3. 2018: assessing BLISS for various beamline experiments

- Adding missing features

- Testing in real conditions

- Preparing shutdown

- Early adopters: first user experiments running BLISS

Participation in Scrum sprints:

become a BLISS Product Owner for 3 weeks !

= you tell BLISS team what to do

... and then you continue with BLISS

3. 2018: assessing BLISS for various beamline experiments

Guidelines:

- control of an equipment, an experiment or an entire hutch with BLISS

- less Spec as possible (better if no Spec at all)

- no new Spec macro !

- scientists have to be volunteers

Continuing "early adopters" projects started in 2017:

- ID30 (Tiago)

- ID11 (Sebastien)

- ID15 (Emmanuel)

- MX (Antonia+Matias)

Manpower issue

4. 2019: Great Deployment

4. 2019: Great Deployment

BLISS to replace spec as much as possible in as many beamlines as possible

4. 2019: Great Deployment

In parallel:

- finalizing transition to Python 3

- users training

5. Graphical User Interfaces

5. Graphical User Interfaces

Online data visualisation

- based on silx

5. Graphical User Interfaces

BLISS shell for scientists

- final goal: integrated environment

5. Graphical User Interfaces

User Applications

- MXCuBE

- BsxCuBE

- ID16

- ID21

- ID17

- ...

5. Graphical User Interfaces

User Applications = web applications

5. Graphical User Interfaces

Manpower issue

- no one is responsible for User Interfaces development

- maintenance of existing applications !

- demand will grow within next years (post-2.0 era)
