No final decision on a workshop topic for ggf15 has been taken yet. This needs to be discussed and decided via the mailing list ASAP. comments/suggestions: - don't forget to forward results to GGF WG's - use GGF closing panel, but also penetrate GGF groups (mailing lists) Presentation: "Identifying and Fostering Applications on a Multipurpose Grid" Mary Fran Yafchak and Art Vandenberg (the slides are available on the www: http://www.cs.vu.nl/ggf/apps-rg/meetings/ggf14-general.html) Discussion on how getting users/apps onto SURAgrid (and others) - allow users to do something that they cannot do otherwise Open microphone: Tom Hinke invited all people in the room to briefly identify themselves and their work, goals, and open problems w.r.t. Grids. After this round of identification, Tom Hinke closes the meeting because the time is up. However, almost all participants keep discussing informally in small groups.
