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 ----- OGF20 “Grid Means Business” track 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). 1. 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? On 20 Feb 2007, at 15:18, Robert Cohen wrote:
