GGF16 Community Council preparation
by Julie Wulf-Knoerzer 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

[Apologies in advance for the length of this message but thanks in advance for your attention regarding our preparation for GGF16] Dear all, Below are some GF16 Community Council actions that I have captured from our recent meetings, followed by some requests for information that I need from you in preparation for GGF16. Action: Recruit participants for the Vendor Adoption Forum Action: Socialize End User Groups to the VOC (Voice of the Community) documents Please review the most recent list of registrants and let me know if you have suggestions for key people that we should arrange meetings with at GGF16. There are also sessions that should have community representation for this purpose. The spreadsheet attached will be updated with AD 'assignments' based on what sessions you will attend. Please review the spreadsheet and let me know if you, a fellow AD, or designee, plan to attend un-assigned sessions. Action: Prepare for 'Area Report Cards' (including visibility for the successes of groups within the community function) and represent the community council in program sessions Many of the sessions on the attached spreadsheet have already been assigned by Area for the purpose of area report cards (for example, the groups that fall under community areas). Post-GGF16, we'd like to have an Area report-out on community sessions that took place at GGF16. Let me know if I am missing any of your community group sessions, bofs, etc. Action: GGF16 Community Council meetings (f2f agenda, availability for additional meetings, etc.) As usual, we will be holding our GFSG f2f meeting all day on Sunday and as stated above, we would like to try to schedule sidebar meetings with appropriate people to discuss VOCs, End User Forum, etc. Please let me know if you plan to attend GGF16 as well as your arrival/departure days so that wI can start to coordinat schedules. Action: Community Input to Event Survey Please let me know if you have suggestions for other data that should be collected in our event survey. Do you think we should include all program sessions on the final page? We will also solicit the standards folks for similar information. Thanks again for your participation and see you soon.

Community wiki and meeting cadence (reply requested)
by Julie Wulf-Knoerzer 24 Jan '06

24 Jan '06

Hi all, As discussed on last week's call, below is the current meeting cadence for GFSG and Community telecons: GFSG Policy call 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month 9:00-10:00am CST GGF Community call 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month 10:00-11:00a CST. Please let me know if you have obvious conflicts with either of the above and/or if you would like to see: *community telecon rescheduled (and preferred times), *community telecon frequency reduced (e.g., once per month). Also, below is the information for the Community wiki (that I have not played with): http://testforge.ggf.org/wiki/ At some point in the future, that address might change (as our wikis might get integrated into GridForge). However, we should be able to migrate the contents. You'll need to create a login to work with it but that process is simple. Thanks, Julie +++++++++++++++++++ Julie Wulf-Knoerzer Manager of Community Development Global Grid Forum wulf(a)ggf.org ph. 630/252-7163 fax 630/252-4466

GGF-linked meetings
by David De Roure 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

For info, as background to our discussions. We've now "badged" a number of events in the Technology Innovators area as being in conjunction with GGF (Grid2006, eScience2006, SKG2006, plus workshops), as a mechanism for mutually beneficial community engagement and building that "on ramp" into GGF activities. Here is an outline of the kind of informal arrangement that is emerging - this describes the "deal" with the event, not how we choose which events to badge. 1 The event can use the GGF logo. We would be pleased to see the logo appear in advance publicity and on the Web site. They can describe this as GGF endorsement (but it is NOT sponsorship - the phrase "in conjunction with GGF" is as strong as it gets). 2. GGF will nominate a liaison person for the conference (currently this has been the Tech Innovators ADs but this could be broadened - it's likely that suitable events may already have GFSG members involved in some capacity). 3. GGF will help advertise the event, through its own mechanisms and membership. (We intend that GGF will have a GGF web page that lists all such linked conferences - we haven't done this yet.) 4. GGF would like to discuss options for an appropriate presence at the event, via the liaison. We would at least like to provide all delegates with info about GGF, and discuss having an "Introduction to GGF" talk. Other options include GGF display, hospitality etc. 5. GGF links to presentations after the event to combine with our community talks, so that the event content is accessible via GGF. 6. GGF can also offer advice through the range of expertise available. The liaison person is the link to this expertise. -- Dave
