At GGF15, PGS-RG will be hosting a workshop and series of panel discussions on campus grids. The workshop will a one-day case-study format (off-site, the day before GGF opens), with common experiences across participants serving as the basis for followup panels during GGF iteself. We like the topics you have listed below, and would like to co-sponsor with you again, but GGF15 won't work for us, since we'll be swamped with our own GGF15 work. So, I request that you defer "Managing Large-scale Operations" and "Measuring Benefits from Grid-Enabling" until later GGFs. Of your remaining topics, I would recommend Industry Apps, since the input we're getting is that GGF15 will be heavily focused on enterprise & commercial audiences.

Following up on the meeting notes, I would like to emphasize that we need to make a decision about a GGF15 workshop within a week or so.

Proposed topics are:

...

- industry apps

- managing large scale operations

- from early adopters to mainstream use

- measuring the benefits from grid-enabling

- 'eye opening applications' from various (not just industry) apps?

Any opinions on this? Any other good suggestion? Are there "burning issues" for apps out there that could be addressed on such a workshop?
