All,
I have
read the actual 451 report ( 2007 grid adoption report) and it is a very
good report on the overall state of adoption. (I also think it would be a good
addition to the OGF20 Program).
There
have been several articles that have been written on the report that highlighted
the issue of terminology (e.g. that the term grid may or may not survive or may
be replaced by some other term.) So ... my read of the 451 report is
that the overall industry is still struggling regarding what to call
this next stage in distributed computing (no surprise ...) while real
organizations continue to adopt the technologies and solutions and gain
competitive advantage. Mark

Hi PC and sorry for the delayed response to Bob's comment
on The 451 Group's OGF20 contribution.
Not sure which dodgy outlets you have been reading Bob
but it certainly is not 451 research!?
Indeed our recently published Grid Adoption Research Service
report?on "Grid Computing - The State of the Market" examines how grid is
now
being used as a means to achieve all kinds of objectives. I'd be glad to
share
the findings of this work - 15 in depth studies across a number of vertical
markets - with
any of the PC (and OGF20). FWIW we're now tracking some 250+ commercial
users of grid,
our work shows grids are alive and kicking and invite you to? take a
look?at your
convenience to confirm this!
cheers
William

Status as of 19th Feb 2007
?
This memo lists the possible
speakers for each GMB session.? We have received some proposals via
the CFP and personal contact, which I list as ?Proposed?.? Other
people have been suggested during PC calls; we need to check the status of
these.
?
There is some overlap between
the suggestions for some of these sessions.
?
We might also invite talks via CoreGrid (c.f. their
workshop proposal).

GMB: Setting the scene
Confirmed
Paul Strong (Ebay)
William Fellows (451 Group) [State of Union ->
Paths for Adoption] ? Members of the PC should note that the last 451 Group
report declared that Grids might be dead. Comments???? Is that the setting of
the scene that would be helpful to kickoff the
meeting?
