Dear PC
members,
Earlier this year we
had some discussion about the number of sessions available at OGF20. I've
looked at recent GGF events for comparison. These figures are approximate
because I had to guess which topics some of the sessions came under.
Summary - we
currently have more sessions allocated for group meetings than
GGF17-OGF19. We have slightly fewer enterprise sessions (not
including the Grids Mean Business track). We have the same number of
E-Science sessions as GGF17, which is less than GGF18 and
OGF19.
GGF17 - colocated
with GridWorld Japan.
3 days, 5-7 parallel
sessions

keynote this length.
