-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I took a first pass over the "activities going forward" list, and it occurs to me that the optimal strategy for the moment would be to try and break these out to specific action items - these can be very high- level actions at first, with increasing levels of refinement as we understand the problems more. I suggest that everyone who intends to participate in the editing process read the current 1.1 draft document and spreadsheet, as well as the "going forward document from Jem Treadwell". All of these are available from: https://forge.gridforum.org/docman2/ViewCategory.php? group_id=42&category_id=945 For example, one of the tasks is to review the tracker items with respect to the current document and decide how we will respond or alter the document based on the trackers. I will take this as an action item. Another is to review and update the status of the various OGSA documents, including newly-added documents-in-progress. This might be a good task for Dona. I can also take the action of reviewing the various text sections and updating them to correspond with the information gathered by Dona, and whoever else works on it. These seem to be the largest and most important tasks, and the ones I felt comfortable taking or assigned. Please review the activities document and let me and Jem Treadwell, at least, know if you are interested in taking on any of the additional items, or if you'd be interested in helping with some of the high-level tasks mentioned above. I'm happy to give regular status reports and have some public discussion on the ogsa-wg e-mail forum, and on the conference calls, but I'd also like to keep most of the editor-specific traffic off the big mailing lists, if possible. We've tentatively chosen Wednesdays at 3PM PDT/6PM EDT as the time for conference calls related to roadmap-editing discussions. I think tomorrow may be too soon to start really having detailed discussions, but if I don't hear from anyone else maybe just Dona and I can speak on the phone for a few. Then let's plan on beginning official calls two weeks from now (Jun 7th), when Dona has returned from vacation, and we will communicate via e-mail in the meantime. Is this ok with everyone? Please note that I'd like to move quickly to assign tasks and begin making progress on this, as it seems that it will be a large, complicated task. If you are seriously committed to participating in the document editing process, please speak and participate soon, as at some point I think we have to close the door to new volunteers, just for the sake of efficiency.. Suggestions, opinions, rebuttals? - ---------------------------------------------------- Chris Jordan HPC Systems Engineer High End Computing Systems Group San Diego Supercomputer Center ctjordan@sdsc.edu 858.534.8347 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFEc3mZPCVtcXn6kg8RAqy5AJ9uom1PmZwCaaFMJ/dxTOG3wJyzBQCdG/r8 PZD7+fzSxRKk0xDs9fGCCHo= =//bp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
