I agree with Bob's explanation here. I see these as two related tracks.
The program I mailed out is aimed at new users and would be one track.
Bob's requirements workshop would run alongside and be aimed at
established users.
We have just moved the industry track to Tuesday & Wednesday (because
Monday will be a public holiday in the UK). We could probably schedule
the requirements workshops on either day - I'll talk offline with Bob
about this.
Are there other industry & enterprise sessions that we want to schedule
(or indeed issue a call for)?
Best wishes,
Dave.

Ok, that is helpful. Also helpful to hear from John Brooke that
there is a good concentration of pharma startups in the Manchester area
that should be easy to attract to the show. Thanks all, ~Brooklin

Hi Brooklin,
I am not sure that you are aware of what the Industry Group was
trying to do in Washington at GGF18, but we had two sessions with
industry people with extensive experience using Grids. The idea is to
get industry oriented users to pinpoint issues they face in using Grids
(issues that will probably prove to be similar to what other firms in
that industry will face). These issues are to feed into an exercise that
is part of promoting greater collaboration between the standards side of
OGF and the Enterprise/Science side. Issues from the user side can
identify areas where advances in standards would be most helpful to
users in industry and science. In the Washington sessions, there was
certainly evidence from users that Grids were adding value and could be
used at a wide range of firms in the sectors that were part of the
discussion. There were also a number of attendees that were relatively
new users of Grids.
In previous discussions of the OGF20PC, there was no attempt to
have the industry sessions be the only sessions available for users to
attend. But the idea was to continue the process that was begun in
Washington. If many people feel that is not a productive way to move
ahead, the entire process should be canned.

Re: [ogf20pc] Draft outline for industry track 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.
Best wishes,
