An announcement on a new blog... Dear all, (Apologies for cross posting) Gridipedia is pleased to announce the launch of a new blog, Grid Voices, to be hosted on www.Gridipedia.eu. This blog will be written by prominent members of the European Grid, Service oriented and Cloud computing areas, from both industry and academic institutions. The blog will focus on Grids, clouds, and related technologies, in particular in reference to their commercial use and exploitation. It can be found at www.gridipedia.eu/grid_voices.html. Today we have published our first post. From Stefan Wesner, Deputy Director of Stuttgart's High Performance Computing Centre, it focuses on key limitations of Cloud from the perspective of the BEinGRID research initiative. We have a publication schedule that anticipates a new post approximately every two weeks. Next week's post will be written by Theo Dimitrakos, Research Group Leader at BT. He will be followed by Professor Varvarigou from the National Technical University of Athens. Please forward this message to your contacts and colleagues. I believe it will offer valuable insight from the heart of the European "Grid Scene". The blog will shortly be hosted by Wordpress software so comments will become enabled, and at Gridipedia we hope that this can become the centre of a lively online community.
