Hi folks-- I want to thank all the early risers for coming to the 7:30 meeting this morning. We had some very good discussions about the portals survey document, which I have included in the updated attachment. If you are around this afternoon at 3:30, please come to the second session--we will do the same for the desktop gce environments. Marlon

Meeting times are 10-11:30 am and 12:00-1:30 pm on Tuesday. Session 1: Portals June 28, 10am - 11:30am Room: Michigan 1) Re-establish community through a portal developer survey. This will be a follow-on to our initial survey kickoff from 2001: a lot has changed, particularly portlets, underlying grid foundations. This will result in a GGF informational document. 2) Advertise, plan SC05-concurrent Grid Portals workshop. This will feature peer-reviewed extended abstracts. 3) Re-establish GCE connections to other GGF groups with complementary efforts. 4) Spawn Working Group to write the a GGF Informational Document, "Building a Grid Portal: a Beginner's Guide to Technologies, Standards, and Best Practices" Session 2: Other GCEs June 28th, 12-1:30pm Room: Gove There has been significant work to build alternative other user environments: Grid desktops, shells, and scripting languages. This session will focus on attempting to establish communications between various efforts. The TACC Grid Shell effort, Community Grid Lab's HPSearch scripting, and the CoG grid desktop are three examples. 1) Catalog and classification efforts: create a GGF info document on various non-portal and extended portal GCE efforts. 2) Spawn a Working Group to cover the following topics: lessons learned from portals--how to build reusable GCE components; how to integrate/share components between web portal and desktop efforts. Agenda comments are welcome. We hope to see you there!
