I¹m still a little confused with the concept on industry tracks like auto and pharma, etc. I wonder how many businesses new¹ 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 don¹t 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. ~Brooklin From: Robert Cohen <bcohen@bway.net> Reply-To: <bcohen@bway.net> Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 10:08:00 -0500 To: Dave Berry <daveb@nesc.ac.uk>, <ogf20pc@ogf.org> Subject: Re: [ogf20pc] Draft outline for industry 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 ³Issues in Grids² 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. Bob Cohen Dave Berry wrote:
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.
Best wishes,
