Hi all, We have decided not to have a community call tomorrow. We'll plan to talk after next week's GFSG telecon to discuss the community program for GridWorld/GGF15. In the meantime, please send me any program suggestions you might have. Thanks, Julie At 05:05 PM 8/3/2005 -0500, Julie Wulf-Knoerzer wrote:
Dear all, Below, you will find some community-oriented suggestions that I have extracted from the GGF14 attendee surveys. If possible, I would like you to take a look at the attendee feedback below and identify projects (and/or individuals) that we might solicit directly for the GGF15 Community Program. The complete CFP (along with online submission) can be found at http://www.ggf.org/ggf_events_communityInvolvment_ggf15.htm. As you know, the deadline for the Community CFP is next week, 12-Aug. Please feel free to send your suggestions to me and I will send the CFP on behalf of the community council. Thanks, Julie
