Notes from monthly compute area call
by Stephen M Pickles 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

These are my notes from the Compute Area call on Wednesday. 1. Group updates GRAAP-WG (Wolfgang Ziegler) - WS-Agreement is about to go into a third 30-day public comment period - really want to make this the last one GSA-RG - no-one on call OGSA-BES-WG - no-one on call OGSA-HPCP-WG (report mailed in by Marty Humphrey) - preparations for interop demo at SC06 is flushing out issues in OGSA-BES, JSDL, and OGSA-HPCP specs - nominations for a co-chair to replace Marvin Theimer are closed; one excellent candidate nominated. OGSA-RSS-WG (Donal Fellows) - joint sessions with OGSA at GGF18 were very useful - there is still an opening for a committed co-chair to work alongside Donal JSDL-WG - no-one on call - Andreas Savva has succeeded Ali Anjomshoaa as co-chair - he was added to this list only today, and so did not receive notification of the call (my apologies) Short status reports are always welcome. 2. OGF19 - session scheduling and early registration should open soon (this week or next) - trying a more W3C-like model, a 5 day event (not too much on Friday); Wednesday for cross-WG alignment, town hall and more plenary activities; longer working group sessions are encouraged; still book 90 minute slots, but expect to be able to get back-to-back sessions. 3. AoB None. 4. Date of Next Meeting Wed November 29th - apologies from me in advance. Many northern hemisphere countries will finish summer time between now and then. I therefore propose that we start one hour later at 15:00 UTC, so that the local time in the UK, US and Germany will be the same. Stephen
