Dear all, On the local (Manchester) side we are confident that we can get at least one locally based pharma to present. This work involves a local regional Grid so it is a good case study for the use of such resources. I think this work is sufficiently practical to make other similar small bio-pharma startups see how they could apply this in their business today. We will also work with the North West Development Agency to get other local industry along. Areas of industrial strength in the region are pharma, chemical engineering and aerospace. The NWDA funded the North-West Regional Grid and have sent a letter of support for OGF20 so their interest is strong. I am not at SC06 but I will work on getting the above proposals firmed up. Best wishes, John Brooke co-Director e-Science North-West Brooklin Gore wrote:
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.

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.
