I agree with
Bob's explanation here. I see these as two related tracks.
The program I mailed out is aimed at new users and would be one track.
Bob's requirements workshop would run
alongside and be aimed at established
users.
We have just moved the
industry track to Tuesday & Wednesday (because Monday will be a public
holiday in the UK). We could probably schedule the requirements workshops
on either day - I'll talk offline with Bob about
this.
Are there other
industry & enterprise sessions that we want to schedule (or indeed issue a
call for)?
Best
wishes,
Dave.
Ok, that is helpful. Also helpful to hear from John
Brooke that there is a good concentration of pharma startups in the Manchester
area that should be easy to attract to the show. Thanks all,

[ogf20pc] Draft outline for industry track
Hi Brooklin,
I am not
sure that you are aware of what the Industry Group was trying to do in
Washington at GGF18, but we had two sessions with industry people with
extensive experience using Grids. The idea is to get industry oriented users
to pinpoint issues they face in using Grids (issues that will probably prove
to be similar to what other firms in that industry will face). These issues
are to feed into an exercise that is part of promoting greater collaboration
between the standards side of OGF and the Enterprise/Science side. Issues from
the user side can identify areas where advances in standards would be most
helpful to users in industry and science. In the Washington sessions, there
was certainly evidence from users that Grids were adding value and could be
used at a wide range of firms in the sectors that were part of the discussion.
There were also a number of attendees that were relatively new users of
Grids.
In previous discussions of the OGF20PC, there was no attempt to
have the industry sessions be the only sessions available for users to attend.
But the idea was to continue the process that was begun in Washington. If many
people feel that is not a productive way to move ahead, the entire process
should be canned.

Re: [ogf20pc] Draft outline for industry track I’m
still a little confused with the concept on industry tracks like auto and
pharma, etc. I wonder how many businesses ‘new’ to the grid would be
attracted by these sessions. Certainly one or two companies from this
segment doing a case study on why the grid is good for their business (with
elements that could be applied to other companies not yet doing grid) would
be great, I just don’t understand the value of branding along an industry
segment.
I think every presentation should make attendees not
using grid yet 1) want to come and 2) walk away beleiving 1) this stuff is
really adding business value 2) we can use this
stuff.

track
Dave,
This looks ok, but it does leave out
the main sessions for the industry track that we had discussed that would be
parallel sessions on Tuesday. These would include the sessions from the
draft "Straw man OGF20
industry":
Also on Tuesday: Enterprise Requirements
workshops
These are scheduled to run at the same time as the “Issues in
Grids” sessions. We can take advantage of the people attending these
workshops to give presentations in other sessions, e.g. in the
Collaborative Grids session.
11:00-12:30: Auto &
Aerospace industry requirements
16:00-17:30: Pharma
industry requirements
18:00-19:30 Requirements
roll-up
meeting
It would be
useful to have the Collaboration Grids session after the Auto and Aerospace
industry requirements meeting so that people from the requirements session
could present there.

Dear PC,
At the last meeting
of industry sub-committee I took a task to prepare an outline of the
industry track, as we understand it so far, that people could give to
potential participants. I have now done this and attach the
result.
