<!-- START DESCRIPTION -->
<h2 class="h3">Description</h2>
<p>The October 2023 Projectathon will be based on the production version of the Once-Only Technical Design Documents.</p>
<p>Previous Projectathons were an opportunity for all parties to learn, make mistakes, to help each other and to assess the status of their respective Once-Only developments. The October event builds on this, adding a focus on assessing production readiness of the Once-Only Technical System components.</p>
<p>Those test cases prepared for the previous Projectathons form the baseline of this event. Ahead of the October 2023 Projectathon, the Commission and participating teams will discuss together how to update existing test cases or add new test cases to best facilitate the assessment of production readiness.</p>
<p>A high-level overview and summary of current test cases is available to the testing and deployment sub-group <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/display/SDGOO/Document+repository+-+TD" target="_blank">(restricted access)</a>.</p>
<p>The full test cases with detailed step-by-step descriptions will be made accessible later via the Gazelle platform<aplatform <a href="https://oots-testing.ihe-catalyst.net/gazelle/home.seam" target="_blank">(restricted access)</a>.</p>
<p>In addition to the main plenary testing track, this event will allow for some more advanced scenarios to be discussed in dedicated exploration sessions or in a restricted test session between teams interested in such scenarios.</p>
<p>The tests will start with static and pre-agreed data. This is to be discussed in and shared through the relevant Testing and deployment sub-group (restricted access) and/or collaborative space on Teams. Those Member States that want to go further and create custom datasets or dynamic datasets for bilateral tests are invited to do so as well.</p>
<hr>
<br>
<p>The Commission strongly encourages all Member States to participate actively in the last Projectathon, from 18 to 20 October 2023, in Brussels. Registrations will start on 1 September 2023. There will be several preparatory events to ensure proper preparation to this important event. Unlike in the previous events, we don’t expect to have the Observer option at Member States level. Individual team members are of course invited and welcome to come and observe. Given that the legal deadline is approaching, everyone is invited to enrol as an active Participant.</p>
<p>The Commission also encourages Member States to test all infrastructural elements that compose the Once-Only Technical System such as eIDAS Support, eDelivery Access Point, Preview Area, Logging and appropriate handling of Once-Only Technical System metadata. The Once-Only Technical System Support team is available throughout the summer in case Member States need help to find the right resources or a helping-hand to use them.</p>
<p>All Member State are expected to be represented on-site. Physical presence is of the essence for ensuring a successful event. The main focus of the October event is for Member States to assess their production readiness of the Once-Only Technical System components. This event will also be a unique opportunity for Member States not only to test but also to exchange experiences and ideas among colleagues.</p>
