Folks, Tom Roney and I are being asked if the OGF is going to present in this year's Management Developer's Conference. Apparently the OGF is too busy with the merger to think of presentations right now, but I'm suggesting that the OGSA could do a presentation, as we did last year. For an overview of OGSA we can use the slides from the Webcast (I can do this one, unless it overlaps with other stuff I'm presenting). But, as the name of the conference says, it's targeted torwards developers (i.e., people sitting down and writing code) of management stuff. A very good thing to do would be to show what kinds of middleware, tooling, etc. exist to build OGSA applications. The ideal thing to do would be to show (simple) code on the spot (lasy year in the WS-Management session a person from Intel wrote code on the spot to get the attributes of the CPU of the laptop he was using to present -- that was cool). Since everybody is meeting there in Chicago, could you allocate 10 minutes and make a decision on that? The deadline to get sessions is very close (I forgot the date. Tom?). I can dial in if needed (ping me through IM or on the phone). Thanks in advance, Fred Maciel Hitachi America R&D
