Draft GGF18 Group Session schedule for review
by Joel Replogle 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

GF Chairs - I'd like to get your feedback on the draft schedule for the group sessions at GGF18. Please review the GGF18 schedule for the community program and group sessions here: http://www.ggf.org/gf/event_schedule/?event_id=5&tentative I intended to have this draft out for review earlier, but scheduling for GGF18 was a much more difficult task than previous GGF's due the amount of things going on at once. The schedules for the sessions in other tracks at Gridworld/GGF18 can be found in the following two links: http://www.gridworld.com/live/42/events/42WDC06A/conference/CC664596 http://www.gridworld.com/live/42/events/42WDC06A/conference/CC794358 Please review the group session schedule and let me know your feedback ASAP; we are approaching a print deadline at the end of this week, and need to have the group session schedule finalized in advance of that (hopefully by late Tuesday). Thanks, Joel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- Joel Replogle - Manager of Standards, Global Grid Forum replogle(a)ggf.org http://www.ggf.org

Gridforge update: please check your documents & monitoring
by Greg Newby 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

GGF Chairs: I've been working through the Editor pipeline in the new Gridforge site, and noticed something that all document authors/editors and WG/RG/CG chairs will want to know: Please check your documents, and if needed/desired *reinstitute* "monitoring" for your items. I found I was not getting notifications of changes as I had been in the past, and needed to re-add monitoring for the trackers and documents that I needed to know about. Now is a good time to work through any content you might have on Gridforge, looking for things awaiting your attention or that should be monitored. In case you have pending documents in the Editor pipeline, follow this link (and login) to see/maintain them: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/tracker/do/listArtifacts/projects.ggf-editor/… Please let me know if things seem amiss in your document status. Let Joel know of any anomalies or problems you encounter with Gridforge. -- Greg (GGF Editor) Dr. Gregory Newby, Chief Scientist (Acting), Arctic Region Supercomputing Ctr Univ of Alaska Fairbanks-909 Koyukuk Dr-PO Box 756020-Fairbanks-AK 99775-6020 e: newby AT arsc.edu v: 907-450-8663 f: 907-450-8603 w: www.arsc.edu/~newby
