Hi all, Just a quick status update on tutorials since last week's call: -Portals Tutorial (proposal received) -Grids for Managers (lessons learned from GGF14 document attached. I intend to encourage them to submit a proposal shortly.) -Globus 4.0 (I have contacted the Globus folks about their 'hands-on' tutorial - they are interested) -OGSA-DAI (I sent a note to Neil but have not heard back). Hopefully we will have all proposals for discussion on next week's call. -Julie +++++++++++++++++++ Julie Wulf-Knoerzer Manager of Community Development Global Grid Forum wulf(a)ggf.org ph. 630/252-7163 fax 630/252-4466

Fwd: Re: Use Case Repository and EGR scope
by Craig Lee 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

All, As I expected, EGR intends on having a very broad focus wrt use cases at the beginning. After this initial spin-up of the repository w/ EGR's help, perhaps we should orchestrate a longer term effort wrt a Use Case community group as Geoffrey suggests. This group would have in its charter not only the collection of use cases from all sorts of interesting application domains, but also to promote the analysis and use of use cases for making informed decisions wrt grid infrastructure development, deployment, tools, applications, etc. --Cragi >X-Biglobe-Sender: <nakata(a)mtg.biglobe.ne.jp> >Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 11:46:36 +0900 >From: Toshiyuki Nakata <nakata(a)mtg.biglobe.ne.jp> >Reply-To: t-nakata(a)cw.jp.nec.com >Organization: NEC Corporation >User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ja-JP; rv:1.4) >Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax) >X-Accept-Language: ja >To: Craig Lee <craig(a)rush.aero.org> >Cc: t-nakata(a)cw.jp.nec.com, "Subramaniam, Ravi" <ravi.subramaniam(a)intel.com> >Subject: Re: Use Case Repository and EGR scope >X-Biglobe-VirusCheck: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 11:46:42 +0900 >X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on > rushe.aero.org >X-Spam-Level: >X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none autolearn=no version=2.60 > >Craig: > >Craig Lee wrote: > >>Toshi & Ravi, >>The GGF IT folks are putting together a Use Case Repository prototype >>pretty much based on the plan that I circulated.

GridWorld/GGF15 Community Program
by Julie Wulf-Knoerzer 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

cc: Community Council, Ann Collins Hi Geoffrey, One issue that I would like to discuss on next week's call is a policy proposal to the Event Steering Committee for community program registration waivers. As you know, we budgeted a limited amount of waived registrations and granted these on a case-by-case basis for GGF14. Moving forward (particularly in light of our relationship with IDG), we should have a clear policy on how/if these should be granted. I would like to propose this policy to the ESC next Thursday - if approved, the next step is a formal request to IDG (who is managing the budget for GridWorld). Initial questions (for the community council): *Are registration waivers for community program speakers necessary? *Should registration waivers be offered to all community program speakers or limited to tutorial instructors, invited speakers, etc? *Will withholding any waivers adversely affect the ability to attract the quality of speakers desired for the Community Program? I will request that Ann work with IDG to determine the costs associated with registration waivers for GridWorld and should be able to provide numbers soon for consideration in our proposal (i.e., cost per person for day passes vs. full week reg). Presuming we have 2 speakers for each of our 90 minute slots, we are looking at a total of 46 people. Also, as an FYI: The community cfp (along with an online submission form) has been linked at http://www.ggf.org/ggf_events_ggf15.htm and blast email was sent today. We have received workshop proposals from life sciences and 'campus grids' from PGS-RG.

Use Case Repository draft plan
by Craig Lee 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

All, After discussing this on the Community Council call today, here's the draft plan I wrote up and also the mock-up web page that I showed at the town hall meeting to stimulate discussion and comments. The notion of a matrix of attributes was something that stuck in my head early-on but is really one of the last things we'd want to do. The most important thing is just to capture the most basic info about all use cases, that is to say, just the attribute keywords describing a use case. Different presentations of the use case information can be worked on later as we gain experience with what really works for most people. Two additional issues we could note: 1) Selection of wiki that has proper methods for managing information hierarchy, etc. (not flat!) 2) Recording audit trails for use cases, i.e., if a use case is augmented later with more info, keep a list of who did what. --Craig
