Attached. https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/ogsa-wg/document/minutes-20060306/en/1 (Note that April 4-7 at the Bay area was chosen again for the April F2F.) -- Andreas Savva Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd Teleconference minutes - 6 March 2006 ===================================== * Participants Michael Behrens (R2AD, LLC) Hiro Kishimoto (Fujitsu) Fred Maciel (Hitachi) Tom Maguire (EMC) Andreas Savva (Fujitsu) Ellen Stokes (IBM) Jem Treadwell (HP) Jay Unger (IBM) Peter Ziu (Northrop Grumman) Minutes: Andreas Savva * Summary of Actions Action: Candidate hosts should check availability and facilities for F2F and report back on Wednesday's call Action: Jem will check whether there are any HP branding conditions (or formatting, logos, etc) to the webcast. Action: Hiro to add webcast preparation to the F2F agenda Action: Tom to do a final call for the WSRF BP on the list * Minutes of February 27 approved with no changes * OGSA-HPC design team update (as reported by Hiro) Marvin will be selecting a time slot for the design team teleconferences. Most of the discussion should be done on the mailing list, however. Marvin will join the April F2F by phone and may attend in person if the meeting is held on the West coast. * OGSA 1.5 (Arch and Glossary) status update Final call issued on the list. Deadline is Wednesday's teleconference in order to allow for any last minute changes and submission by the end of the week. * April F2F update Reviewed the survey results and weighted the merits and de-merits of various venues and dates. Re-selected April 4-7 at west coast (Bay Area) as the first choice. Possible hosts: - Hitachi America (Fred to check network connectivity) - IBM (at a choice of location in the Bay area) Action: Candidate hosts should check availability and facilities for F2F and report back on Wednesday's call * Webcast discussion Jem reported that HP can provide the facilities to do an OGSA webcast, including recording and archiving for later use. Features also include polls during the webcast, online chat, keeping track of number of people registering, attendind, how long they attended, etc. There are 3-4 available slots (2 hours long but can use a portion only) and depending on the date between 100-200 can participate. Participants dial in. A moderator controls the session, while people who login as presenters can control the slides. Slides must be static and should be sent in advance. Even if that was not the case it would be good to prepare and have the slides ready 1 week in advance. When scheduled HP will publicise it to other companies. It therefore has the potential to attract people that OGSA can not typically reach. So good preparation is needed. Considering the above, a date late in April is better to allow more time to prepare. The webcast preparation should also be added to the F2F agenda. Action: Jem will check whether there are any HP branding conditions (or formatting, logos, etc) to the webcast. Action: Hiro to add webcast preparation to the F2F agenda * WSRF BP status update Tom has done the edits necessary to bring the BP up to date with the OASIS Standard versions of WSRF. Action: Tom to do a final call for the WSRF BP on the list * Other business Jem has updated the front page of the OGSA-WG gridforge site with text taken from the charter. A table of already published documents may also be added. There was a discussion on whether it is worth waiting for the new version of gridforge or not. Hiro mentioned that the gridforge site may be upgraded before or at GGF17. The new site will also include a wiki. It is not clear yet whether some of the documents, e.g., glossary, should be made into wikis. (Do we want short, precise definitions as in the current document or more explanation, e.g., a page for each term?) * Wednesday call - Review information modeling guidelines (Fred) - Webcast update (Jem)
