Mike Already had the session which was a bit of a disappointment as only 4 attendees. No new volunteers to join the group Here are the notes from the session Hi Alan, attached are the meeting notes - please let me know if you have any questions. As for feedback from the scientific data format front: as said, I'd propose to actively approach some of the groups working on scientific data formats. The major ones I am familiar with would be: - CDF: http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/ - NetCDF: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ - HDF5: http://www.hdfgroup.org/products/hdf5/ There are tons more, with varying importance and often with specific user domains, like DICOM for medical imaging (http://medical.nema.org/). A good list of formats is actually: http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/ListingOfAllFormats.html :-) Hope that helps, Andre. -- No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

The Skype Polycom is a USB device with speaker and microphone that plugs into a laptop. Start Skype on the laptop and the Polycom works just like you'd expect a Polycom to work. :-) Please let me know if you have any questions, Thanks, Joel -------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel Replogle - Manager of Standards, Open Grid Forum replogle@ogf.org http://www.ogf.org Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
