Dear all, in our plan, we have the important milestone of presenting for the coming OGF a public comment version GLUE 2.0 in order to achieve a broader exposure of our work and receive a broader review. Starting from the GLUE 2.0 specification available at the end of April (which is the result of a long series of teleconferences and email exchange by many partners) we refactored the document to be consistent and we completed all its parts. The updated renderings of the conceptual model to the XML Schema/LDAP/relational concrete data models will be issued during this week in a separated document (possibly by Wednesday). This is the official Working Group last call for GLUE 2.0 and we invite all of you to read the specification and to send your feedback by Friday, 12 AM CEST. By Monday 19 May, we will send the document + renderings to our area managers to be presented to the OGF Editor for promoting it to public comment. All the comments that we will receive by Friday 16 May and that can be easily incorporated, will be included. The remaining comments which may require discussion or major changes will be logged in the public comment tracker of the GLUE 2.0 specification as soon as it will be available and will be resolved during the 60 days of public comment period. When sending your feedback, pay attention to aspects related to the readability and consistency of the document. We would like to remark the importance of going to the OGF 23 with a coherent and complete document aligned with the renderings. This will enable the interested groups/projects to better evaluate the current work and create proof of concepts on real systems. We thank all of you for your contribution. Kind regards, Sergio, Balazs and Laurence PS: you can find attached the specification documents in both MS Word and PDF formats; the OGF forge portal is not reachable at the moment -- Sergio Andreozzi INFN-CNAF, Tel: +39 051 609 2860 Viale Berti Pichat, 6/2 Fax: +39 051 609 2746 40126 Bologna (Italy) Web: http://www.cnaf.infn.it/~andreozzi
