hi Martin, all It is pretty safe to assume we're aware of political/budget considerations in Australia.
NCRIS etc have quite some ongoing funding (and machinery),to put toward objectives they *want* to have. The issue, as we saw with AARNet and OSM services, is that the vision isn't there. Nobody stepped up to say "oh hey this is valuable to us" - that is all that AARNet needed. Not money, just evidence. People to speak up. OSL was obviously a vision of some folks in research space - and right now they are after money. It makes sense to approach that issue first, then address infrastructure if needed - maybe an NCRIS facility could mirror OSL's work - maybe they already do? Again, doing so depends on selling the vision much less than the cost. I'm unfortunately not in a place to either sell the vision, or implement any part of a solution. I hope other people are; and can provide solutions instead of barriers.
