Hey folks,
The GGF Nominating Committee are looking for volunteers for 2006, to help with recommending candidates to fill open positions on the Grid Forum Steering Group (essentially, the GGF leadership). This is obviously a really important role for GGF, so please read and respond to the attached email if you think you can help.
Hope the meeting at SC was a success. Look forward to seeing the notes. "We were supposed to take notes? Doh." ;-)
Cheers,
Mark.

Subject: [gf-chairs] Need for NOMCOM volunteers
Chairs,
A very important deadline is approaching for creating a team for the 2006
NOMCOM process. According to our NOMCOM Chair, we are still in need of
volunteers. Serving on the NOMCOM is a way of contributing to the GGF and
by being a member of the team, you can participate in the process that sets
the future leadership of GGF. The NOMCOM is one way that the GGF community
can make
its opinions heard by the GGF leadership.
I realize each of you is very busy carrying out the critical work of
GGF. However, could you encourage members of your group to volunteer for
the NOMCOM? The deadline for volunteers is November 26th. A simple
forward of this email with a personal note would be appreciated.
The full call for volunteers and details of participation can be found at
www.ggf.org/nomcom.
Interested parties may volunteer by sending an email to
Sven.vandenBerghe(a)uk.fujitsu.com.
Thanks for your help in supporting this critical process within GGF.

Just confirming this meeting for everyone. There is a good chance I won't
be able to make the meeting, but John E. should be there from our project
anyway...

All:
I have secured a meeting room. It is Room 211 of the Convention Center,
and we have it from 2:30 - 4:00pm on Tuesday (tomorrow). Looks like we'll
have about 9-10 people--very good.

Hi folks,
Following today's call, it looks like we'll have sufficient critical mass for a face-to-face meeting at SuperComputing (Seattle, November 12-18). If you'll be at SC and are interested in this, can you please let me know when you'd be available? If the meeting goes ahead, we'll try and get a phone line so others can join.
On a related note, can you please also let Susan or I know if you are planning to give any SC demos of software making use of the schemas (day and time)? We can then advertise them on the NM-WG website.
Notes from the call will follow on later.
Thanks for your continuing enthusiasm!
Mark.

Hi all,
Jim Ferguson's email about a 3:30 meeting reminded me to let you all
know about this related workshop, occurring earlier the same day:
Grid Applications and Performance BoF
SC|05, Tuesday November 15th, 12:15-13:15, room 615-616
The SC|05 Grid Applications and Performance BoF is being held to
facilitate discussion between application scientists and performance
tool developers over the performance needs of applications and how tool
developers can help satisfy those needs.
Applications are being slowly adapted to run over multiple
administrative domains in a coordinated manner, but seldom achieve even
a fraction of the performance possible with their underlying systems.
This is in part due to users rarely knowing what performance could be
achieved, which in turn is mainly caused by a lack of data from which
estimates of baseline performance can be formulated. Without such
estimates it is not possible to compare current application performance
with that achievable through some degree of tuning.
The BoF follows a successful Third International Grid Performance
Workshop at which application scientists and tool developers joined to
identify recommendations for future work. The workshop findings are
summarised in the workshop report
<http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~schopf/GPW2005/report.pdf>http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~schopf/GPW2005/report.pdf
and represent possible discussion topics for the BoF.
