Morris, Balazs, Luigi and Johannes, For the OGF PGI F2F Meeting in Amsterdam on 28-29 April 2010 : I suggest, besides the video-conferencing facility for participants who can NOT fly, to use a paperboard with markers of different colors : This is very useful, for example to : - Keep the discussion on focus by writing short descriptions of the current - Context, - Scope, - Subject of discussion within context and scope. - Draw a sketch or diagram clearly showing components, interfaces, boundaries, relationships, messages, persistence, ... At the end of the meeting, Johannes can detach the useful papers from the paper board in order to keep them, make good photos and publish them on GridForge. If a paperboard is not available, a whiteboard with erasable color markers would still be useful (in this case, someone should bring a camera in order to take a photo each time the whiteboard has to be wiped). For everyone understanding of GLUE, I also suggest to present a poster of the lower part 'Computing Entities - Relationships' extracted from Figure 2 'Entities and relationships for the Computing Service conceptual model' in page 22 of the 'GLUE Specification v. 2.0' at http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.147.pdf. Thank you in advance.
