Licensing Roundtable at SC06
At the last few GGF meetings, we have discussed setting up a dialogue with vendors to talk about licensing issues for software on grids. At GGF18 in Washington, DC, we agreed that we would try to set something up at SC06, since that gives us the best opportunity for connecting with the vendors. To make this happen we need answers to the following questions: 1) What specific questions to we have for the vendors? This will let us formulate a Call for Participants, to send to relevant vendors. Please add more questions to the list. Licensing models? License/access management? Site licenses, esp in virtual organizations 2) What packages/licenses are of particular concern? These are the vendors we want to invite to participate. If there are more, please add to the list. Also, if you have particular contacts with any of these vendors or packages, please pass that information to us so the invitations can get to (hopefully) the right people. If there are people in your organization who are better equipped to identify packages & vendors, please pass this to them. Gaussian Amber Oracle PBS (and various schedulers) MatLab, Mathematica 3) Who can host the discussion and where? The following affiliated organizations have exhibit space reserved at SC06: TeraGrid: Booth #223, 10ft by 10ft (affiliation through Laura) Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center: Booth #1049, 30'x30' (affiliation through Laura) UK e-Science Programme: Booth # 2234, 40'x40' (affiliation through David?) I am also checking to see if OGF will have its own space or will be using space at Argonne (Booth #1925). If there is anyone else who has booth space and would be interested in hosting the discussion, please let me know. I think we'd like to keep this in the exhibit hall, so that the vendors don't need to wander too far from their booths. I would like to get the Call for Participation out to the vendors by mid-October, so they can plan to participate. I will also need to reserve booth time at PSC by 1-November, if that's where we're going to hold this. So please get back to me and/or the list quickly. Thanks!

Hello Laura, We had the Matlab people at the UK e-Science All Hands meeting and they were very keen to participate. The additional question I would have is: Flexibility of licensing, ie how can currently held licenses be used within Grids? Cheers David On 26/9/06 17:18, "Laura F McGinnis" <lfm@psc.edu> wrote:

The roundtable will be held at the UK e-Science booth on Tuesday, November 14, beginning at 3pm. I have looked through the exhibitors who will be at SC06, and come up with this preliminary list of vendors who might be interested in participating: Allinea (debuggers, optimizers) Aurora Vienna (WIEN2K software package) CEI (ensight.com; simulation software) Etnus (TotalView debugger) Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG; mathematics, statistics, data mining s/w) Platform Computing (LSF) Wolfram (Mathematica) Visual Numerics (IMSL numerical libraries) The Math Works (MatLab) Cluster Resources (Moab) Altair (PBS) If there's anyone else you know will be there who should be included, please post to the list. Also, I will draft an invitation to participate and circulate it to the list, based on the input we have so far, wrt what we'd like the vendors to talk about. If you have any specific contact information for any of these vendors, please let us know so we can target the right people. Any and all help in getting this organized will be greatly appreciated.
