A proposal
by Andrew Grimshaw 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

All, At the last OGF I was struck by the parallelism in the work of PGI and the interoperability demonstrations running out of the GIN group (as one would expect). As PGI is currently in requirements gathering, to be followed at the end of April (I believe) by straw-man profiling to meet the requirements, I thought it might be useful to look carefully at what has been going on in the GIN interoperability demonstrations. The thing that struck me is the progress that is being made there. That got me to thinking about the European Globus initiative (IGI). It seems to me that it would be an excellent idea for IGI to participate in the GIN interoperability work using the Globus 4.2 variant that was developed for HPC-BP and OGSA-WSRF-BP interoperation projects. While I do not believe that the code made it into the production repository, surely the code is in the source code repository and could be brought back into play. That way we can expand not only the participation to more infrastructures, but also gain additional experience one the use of existing specifications to meet the requirements being generated in PGI. Any thoughts? Andrew

Agendas
by Mark Morgan 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Do we have agendas yet, both for the next telecon, and also for the f2f meeting in Amsterdam? I think it's pretty important the agendas for both be sent out relatively soon. This is doubly-so for the f2f meeting as the ticket prices for some of us making it out to Amsterdam are relatively expensive. Thanks, Mark

PGI F2F Meeting
by Steven Newhouse 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

All, During the sessions at OGF this week it was proposed to hold a F2F meeting. On behalf of EGI.eu I offered to host this at the Amsterdam Science Park. The original days (29-30th April) coincide with a Dutch national holiday. However, the 28th and 29th of April are available. I assume this (minor) adjustment of the schedule will be OK. Regards, Steven Dr Steven Newhouse EGEE Technical Director Interim EGI.eu Director Contact Details: http://cern.ch/Steven.Newhouse

Re: [Pgi-wg] Keep HPC-BP Demo alive with monthly telcons
by David Wallom 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Hi Morris, I completely agree that this should become a key function of the GIN group, I would as I suggested during the standards AH suggest that this could also become a sort of compliance system for HPC-BP.

Reminder: Call for Additional co-chair
by Morris Riedel 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Hi folks, as mentioned in the last GIN session we require another co-chair to push further our GIN efforts. Please send me any suggestions or possibly interested people in the context of OGF. Since we have already one European co-chair, potential candidates from other continents are appreciated (e.g. USA, Asia).
