25 Jun '05

Dear all, Attached, please find the GGF14 draft attendee survey. Changes to the GGF13 version include: *Only industry folks are being asked to identify the community they classify themselves in (GEOFFREY: Please tell me if this is an adequate way to distinguish), *Duration of meeting (longer days vs. more days) question, *United States has been replaced with North America, *Community sessions (workshops, tutorial, community track sessions) have been added, *In an effort to gain more respondents, I added a 'congrats to Frank Falcon' for winning the survey from GGF13 on the last page. Please let me know if you have comments/concerns/etc asap. Thanks!

by Julie Wulf-Knoerzer 24 Jun '05

Dear all, One of my actions from last week's call was to draft a call for community participation for distribution in Chicago next week. Apologies for the short notice, but I would like your feedback on the attached Call for Community Participation for GGF15/GridWorld as soon as possible. This contains all community program activities (talks, panels, workshops, tutorials - let me know if I may have missed any). During our GFSG council breakout next week, I would like to briefly discuss selection process in preparation for the Event Steering Committee Meeting that Geoffrey and I will attend on Monday morning. Thank you in advance for the quick turnaround and safe travels to Chicago.

Comments on yesterday's Comm Council Telecon
by Craig Lee 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

All, Yesterday's telecon prompted me to write up these notes about maximizing the utility of the Community Track. I'm sure there are other metrics/questions that could be applied. --Craig Community Track Evaluation and Strategic Planning How do we evaluate the community tracks we have organized at any particular GGF? Evaluation of Individual Community Track Session: How many people showed up? Was there good discussion? Did the speakers feel their talk was well-received? Did the speaker feel that giving the talk was useful? (Did they feel that whatever expectations they may have had were met?) Would the speakers attend another GGF? Analysis and Insight for Individual Community Track Session: What were the main themes voiced in the session as a whole? For the session topic/industry area, what are the main concerns wrt distributed computing requirements. For these main concerns, what did the session nail head-on? What did the session miss completely? What new action items for future work were identified? Analysis, Interpretation and Insight across all Community Track Sessions: What were the common themes voiced across sessions? What type of new synergies among groups were identified and spun-up? Was there overlap in people and organizations across any of the sessions? ==> Need a pow-wow after all the community sessions to compare notes and see what worked/didn't work. Strategic Action Items for Subsequent GGFs: If any "hot button" common themes emerged across sessions, target those next time. If any topics were glaringly missing, target those next time. If any common themes/synergies across groups emerged, target those next time. If any sessions did really well, do it again next time. ==> Need to summarize these conclusions and present them as part of the Closing Plenary as plans for future GGFs.

GGF News
by Julie Wulf-Knoerzer 05 May '05

05 May '05

Hi all, Yesterday, GGF launched it's new web site containing a 'News' section (we had one before, but it was not maintained as frequently as we had hoped). I wonder if you might be able to help me by identifying someone in your region who disseminates Grid news or Grid 'tidbits' on a regular basis (either from different websites, news articles, or other means). Do people like this even exist? Any insight is appreciated.
