Hi Dave, I've just spotted another change: the Wednesday morning plenary was supposed to be EGEE and OGF - I don't remember having discussed to add an e-Science speaker there. This was supposed to be on Tuesday.

We discussed to have ~1.5 hours in parallel (i.e. a 5th session on Thursday and this offer would be still valid - I see that the EAP has appeared on Thu (as a parallel session) You know that the Thursday programme is the central part of our event, therefore I must be protective. On the other hand, I would like to make a "counterproposal". 1) Run (5th parallel session) on Thu morning (full morning) EAP and other session dedicated to business (Grid Means Business now clashing with the Web plenary?) 2) Move back the GT4 earlier in the week I think this would be a good option to rationalise the programme, minimising clashes and stimulating partners to attend to the combined OFG-EGEE event.

This is all still beinng discussed, e.g. at a meeting of the OGF event management commitee tomorrow. Comments welcome. The changes in this spreadsheet are as follows: Monday: - Reserved some of the workshop sessions for Wolfgang's Community Grids workshop - Minor change to OGC workshop Tuesday: - Squeezed in an extra plenary by shortening the lunch time - Moved a GIN session here from Wednesday - Specifed the requirements workshops and an EGR WG session Wednesday: - Replaced two group sessions with the Requirements Roll-up and TSC report sessions - Replaced a GIN session (moved to Tuesday) with a GLite developer session - Added UK to the list of morning speakers (i.e. 30 mins each for UK e-Science, OGF & EGEE) Thursday: - Removed the separate Exhibit tear-down / EGEE set up, as EGEE stalls will run continuously as part of the exhibition - Added an "Enterprise Adoption Planning" session and three groups in the Sidings (which isn't currently booked) - Specified a GT4 session as part of the EGEE track. Throughout: - Renamed "Standards" as "Groups", to include RGs and other non-standards groups.
