Earlier this year we published an open call to  SSH researchers across  subdomains to test the Alpha release of the SSH Open Marketplace and report back on their findings at a dedicated workshop session to be held during the ICTeSSH 2020 Conference. Those testers have now been selected and we’d like to introduce them and explain what we’ve asked them to do.

Each tester will be granted privileged access to the SSH Open Marketplace a week prior to the workshop and asked to test the platform and services on the basis of a set of predefined questions. In a roundtable discussion during the workshop, the testers will be called on individually to share their findings and comments with the other attendees.
