I am _VERY_ concerned though that we are half considering cancelling the developer track.
I thought the purpose of the call was to rationalise the proposed workshops into the 10/11 slots. Which I think we did. I don't recall the discussion to cut the developer track... but I may have drifted off at some point.
Since a large part of the UK e-Science community will be there who would not normally attend we would be in danger of giving the impression that these two and these two alone are OGF recommended middleware, which bearing in mind that they are largely not standards based may seem an error.
The software developer track at OGF19 was very diverse and generally well attended - and gained a lot of interest. Why oh why do we now want to loose all of this and return to the Globus/gLite Grid Forum model!!!!
