Hi PGI team,
some team members of the middlewares ARC, gLite, and UNICORE (AGU) found a bit time to update their input documents to the PGI process:
(1) To ensure an open process, we put the updated version into the PGI OGF space:
A) strawman_rendering (http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/doc15628?nav=1)
Note that the document has still some limitations such as: a) job state model is not fully integrated and thus contradicts to the rest of the rendering document since we also have some inputs for the discussion of it in the next weeks b) some formatting glitches: e.g. would be nice to have section headers, numbered, the table of content contain sections down to level 5. c) agreements only between ARC, gLite and UNICORE while a broader consensus with the other interested members of PGI is missing (i.e. GENESIS, EDGES) and to be discussed d) still some open questions that should be discussed in the broader PGI community
B) strawman_functionality (http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/doc15736?nav=1)
Note that this document only got a minor update.
C) agu_jsdl.xml (http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/doc15737?nav=1)
Focused on needed functionality - not existing JSDL with extensions.
(2) Since we don't want to interrupt the currently ongoing fruitful state model discussions, we expect to continue with them and would suggest that members of PGI collect feedback about these updated documents over the next weeks/vacation period.
Once the state model has been reasonable stable we can work on the feedback of the updated documents together and come to agreements between us all.
(3) Since we don't like an emerging specification that is not really implemented we are about to start a reference implementation of it that might be demonstrated at OGF or other conferences, including its changes following from the open discussion process among the broader PGI community.
With kind regards, Morris Riedel Balazs Konya Moreno Marzolla

Hi, I'm the bestman for a wedding and thus the next three days I'm unavailable and rather focus on a happy-compliant wedding.

Hi PGI team, a PGI teleconference will be held today at 16:00 CET (duration 1 hour). Call-in details as follow: Via Skype call +9900827049931906 (free of charge) Ordinary phone numbers (local rates) with the 9931906 conference number: Austria 0820 401 15470 Belgium 0703 57 134 France 0826 109 071 Germany +49 (0) 180 500 9527 Switzerland 0848 560 397 Proposed agenda: (1) Review minutes from last telcon. (2) OGF27: Who will be there? Should we have a session? If yes - what would be the goal having it? (3) Status of state model: why finished, implementation of a prototype for 'validation' of it? (4) Discuss further plans to move forward in PGI. Initial plan was to work on security in parallel to computation - as foreseen there are not enough right people to proceed like that. Another plan was to continue state model discussions and collect feedback for a min. of 3 weeks about the strawman - however point (4) seems to be on the agenda for today (according to last telcon). (5) Discuss Etienne's latest document on PGI execution service to see how that could be merged with the strawman functionality or rendering drafts. Document: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc15735?nav=1 (6) AOB If there is any other item for discussion let me know.
