OGSA Data WG status report
by Dave Berry 19 May '05

19 May '05

Dear all, Here is a short update of OGSA-D activity. The OGSA-D (OGSA Data Architecture working group was officially approved in late April by the GGF Steering committee. The WG now has its own place in Grid Forge and its own mailing list (ogsa-d-wg(a)ggf.org) The group continues to hold weekly teleconferences, every Wednesday at 8 AM PDT (4 PM BST). The last two calls have focused on replication and storage management. The Data Architecture document is evolving with new material on replication and DAIS being added in recent weeks. We will hold a face to face meeting on May 26 at Imperial College in London, following the OGSA WG face to face meeting. We plan to have multiple sessions at GGF-14 including a community update session, one on data transfer and one possibly on transactions.

Resigning as OGSA-WG co-chair
by Ian Foster 18 May '05

18 May '05

Dear All: As you all know, I have been OGSA-WG chair since the formation of OGSA-WG. However, over the last year, I have not been engaging at anything like the level required of a WG chair. This is due partly to an increasing number of other demands on my time, partly to changing funding profiles at Argonne which leave me with no explicit support for GGF work, and partly (I have to admit) to my temperament, which does not deal well with regular phone calls and meetings. My lack of engagement has not explicitly hindered OGSA-WG, because Hiro has been doing such an amazing job. However, while Hiro has emphasized to me that it is useful to have me engaged even at a low level, I have been finding it increasingly embarrassing to be holding this position when I am not doing the work. In addition, I believe that there is an opportunity cost: we could be engaging someone else as co-chair who would do far more than I. The last straw, from my perspective, is that I have just discovered that I am not able to attend next week's OGSA-WG F2F due to another commitment. For these reasons, I hereby resign as OGSA-WG co-chair. I plan to stay involved in OGSA-WG where this makes sense, but I don't want to have any management role. I want to emphasize that this resignation does not reflect in any way a lack of commitment to GGF or OGSA by myself or my Globus colleagues. We plan to continue our engagement in GGF and OGSA standards development, to the extent that resources permit, and to implement GGF and OGSA specifications whenever feasible. I won't say "it's been a pleasure working with you all" as I plan to continue to be engaged! Regards -- Ian.
