Community Council Members,

Robert is traveling this week (penance for being gone a week in Athens) and has asked that I help with the Community Call tomorrow (Tuesday).

Robert would like us to discuss the following:

1. GGF17 Community content. I identify the key community attendees that we need to target, then propose content from each area to target those attendees.

2. VOCs EU groups for GGF17. Which ones do we want to target, e.g. finance, research/academic, etc. Who will own driving each for GGF17. We need to write simple charter for VOCs (maybe one charter for all VOCs) to identify what it is and the objectives, e.g. identify requirements and use cases, drive into stds, etc.

3. VAF (Vendor Adoption Forum) for GGF17. Which vendors can we start to target, e.g. MS, Platform, IBM, SAS, SAP, etc. Who will own driving this for GGF17. We need to write simple charter for to identify what it is and the objectives, e.g. identify key vendor requirements for adoption and issues that impede adoption, then drive into stds, etc.

4. GGF16 report. Key takeaways of each Community session. Next steps for each session. Suggestions for GGF17 and beyond.

If any of you have other items to discuss, please email me and I'll put it on the agenda.

The call is at 10am US Central time and the dial-in information is:

US: 888-455-3044 Intl: 210-839-8611 Pass Coode: 34743

By the way, Julie's last day was last Friday and I'm actively pursuing a replacement. If you know of someone that is looking, please let me know.

Thanks,
