Hi GIN team, as the main vacation time has finished now, I would like to encourage you to add your participation ideas in the GIN - WIKI regarding interoperability demonstrations at SC2007. The DATA area is already quite active and it would be very nice if the other areas would also present demonstrations at SC2007. Don't forget that the main idea of GIN are interop demos that we can see as a milestone we want to achieve together. So please take the following points from a former email of me into account: Von: gin-bounces@ogf.org [mailto:gin-bounces@ogf.org] Im Auftrag von Morris Riedel Gesendet: Montag, 25. Juni 2007 12:33 An: gin@ogf.org Cc: gin-auth@ggf.org; gin-ops@ogf.org; gin-info@ogf.org; gin-jobs@ogf.org; gin-data@ogf.org Betreff: [gin] GIN Demos at SC2007 Dear GIN folks, Over the last 3 month I have talked with many people's about possible interoperation/interoperability demos at Supercomputing 2007 (similar to the SC2006) . Now I would like to focus and list our efforts in one central position on the WIKI to have an overview who would like to participate in which areas with what demonstrations. Therefore, I propose the following: (1) All that would like to participate should request GIN group membership and subscribe to the GIN mailing lists if not done so far: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/projects/gin In particular, I would like to encourage people to subscribe to the central gin@ogf.org list so that we can circumvent sending emails to all the gin areas. (2) All people that have ideas, comments, participation plans, booth, etc. for the SC2007, please add your ideas to the following wiki page: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.gin/wiki/GINSuperCom puting2007 Note that you please put all information on that page (or link into the same wiki) and please do not link a different website/wiki. If you're unsure if you can provide/realize the written statement (e.g. booth at SC2007) then please add "PLANNED". Thanks. (3) If you have any specific questions please write your thoughts to the list, so that we all can discuss if this makes sense. We are a team, so let's use the group lists and avoiding anymore private mailings behind the scene! (4) Together with the chairs and some others that are interested in several demos, we had the following ideas: There are two categories of demos for SC2007: (a) Category: Future Solutions (that addresses something like OGSA-BES interoperations, Byte/IO interoperations, etc. - basically technology not deployed in production Grids, but do make sense or are the future plans for deployments (b) Category: Production (that addresses something like SRB/SRM islands work, or GIN-INFO interoperations including production sites - basically technology deployed in production Grids (including simple hacks). The decision about the future solutions category was done to improve and extend our demo sets - hence, we provide other OGF research groups help in doing interops (OGSA-BES, Byte/IO) so that they (may) reach full recommendations status via adoption and Interop. scenarios. In addition, we demonstrate production Grids that interoperations/interoperability via these interfaces are working that may influence their adoption timelines within production e-Infrastructures and middleware providers. Note that all these ideas, demo lists, etc. are just initial thoughts. Finally, I would like to thank anyone that is participating within GIN demos in advance - now is the time to start the interoperation demos setups - so let's go.
