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!

All, To reiterate Yoshio' s message, the 60-day public comment period for the GridRPC End-User API document will close April 21. We need as many people as possible commenting on this proposed GGF Recommendation document! You can comment on this (and other documents in public comment) by visiting: http://www.ggf.org/Public_Comment_Docs/Public_Comment_Documents.htm You can make comments regardless if you have a GridForge account or not. If you do not have a GridForge account, you can make anonymous comments. If you have a GridForge account and nonetheless wish to make anonymous comments, just don't log in to GridForge when you comment.

GGF GCE-RG Reactivating
by Mary Thomas 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

<<<<<<<<<<< Global Grid Forum Grid Computing Environments Research Group >>>>>>>> (Please forward this on to anyone whom you think will be interested in our activities) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dear Portal Community, GCE-RG Members, future members: The GCE-RG is waking up from a long and comfortable snooze. Recall that when last we met, we had a workshop in Japan, where we determined that Web Services and Portals bases on Portlet technologies were very exciting directions to investigate. Since then, the GCE-RG has taken a hiatus and many of you have been off doing some very interesting and productive work. As a result, we think that there are several very good reasons for the GCE-RG to become active again: there have been many advances in grid and web services; shell and portal technologies and supporting frameworks have new standards; and a growing number of user communities are now hosting GCE's. Clearly, now is a very good time to bring our developer and user communitites together, exchange ideas, and investigate new directions. Our esteemed GGF Area Directors (Craig Lee and Satoshi Matsuoka) have obtained official approval from the GGF for the GCE-RG to become reactivated. We will begin by reviewing and renewing our charter. We will meet at the next GGF meeting (Summer, Chicago). We would like to propose the following activities at the next GGF (this Summer). Note, this is only a preliminary agenda and we would like to hear about other ideas and activities you would like to see happen within the GCE-RG. We are especially interested in activities that will lead to spin-off Working Groups so that we can better support the mission of the GGF in setting standards. Proposed Agenda: - solicit input/interest from attendees, and emails beforehand if possible - discuss new directions for GGF (portal frameworks, shells, other) - if there is community consensus, begin update of charter and web site -- seeking volunteers to spearhead this effort - new activities: - Portlets WG BOF (M. Pierce, others TBD) - upate/revisit GCE draft doc on portal architectures (begun at GGF in Japan, 2002). - promote new community portal sharing wiki (opengridportals.org) - Gather input/volunteers/make plans for an SC05 GCE-Portals workshop (not a GGF event though). -- This activity is based on input from attendees at the SC04 Portals BOF -- Papers will be published in C&C:P&E publication with overview article to contribute to GGF. -- will be posting email soon seeking voluteers to server on program committiees/etc. Please let us know your thoughts on what you would like to see emerge from new GCE-RG activites. Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you - Mary, Dennis and Geoffrey =============================================================== Mary Thomas Department of Computer Science mthomas(a)rohan.sdsu.edu San Diego State University (619) 594-1694 (office) San Diego, CA 92182-7720 (619) 594-6746 (fax) http://rohan.sdsu.edu/faculty/mthomas Adv.

RE: [gce-rg] GGF GCE-RG Reactivating
by Allan, RJ (Robert) 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

Hi Mary, very good! I am happy to participate from Europe, I am not sure yet if I will be at GGF, but will contribute. We are doing a lot of work now as you know. Also on monday we had the first meeting of the JISC Common Frameworks Working Group. This is developing what we will call The Open Framework for Research and Education. It will define a set of re-usable services and how to integrate them. Of course portals are also important for delivery and we are interested in other lightweight client toolkits to encourage more users of the Grid. See: http://www.grids.ac.uk/ETF/public/WebServices/classes.html http://www.grids.ac.uk/eResearch Best wishes, Rob P.S. we had a good workshop with Jason Novotny a couple of weeks ago and are currently in a UK OGSA Workshop. We hope to produce a report from the latter. -----Original Message----- From: owner-gce-rg(a)ggf.org on behalf of Mary Thomas Sent: Mon 3/21/2005 4:49 PM To: gce-rg(a)ggf.org Cc: Satoshi Matsuoka; DOE Portals - Internal; OGCE - Internal; gridport-board; portals-wg(a)teragrid.org Subject: [gce-rg] GGF GCE-RG Reactivating <<<<<<<<<<< Global Grid Forum Grid Computing Environments Research Group >>>>>>>> (Please forward this on to anyone whom you think will be interested in our activities) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dear Portal Community, GCE-RG Members, future members: The GCE-RG is waking up from a long and comfortable snooze.
