Quoting [Yutaka Kawai] (Sep 22 2010):
OK, I understand we will prepare individual demos. Are you planning our demos will be held only in SAGA workshop sessions or in some booths? If we use demo booths, should all equipment and environments for the demos be brought and prepared by each group? I mean we want to know whether some of them are secured by SAGA group or totally not.
I do not know if we'll have a demo booth available - will check with Joel. If so, a projector will likely be supplied by OGF or local staff - I don't think we need more than a laptop. I'd be happy to offer mine as a fixed entry point, but I guess that swapping laptops between demos should also be doable. Let me know which way you prefer. In case we do not have a booth, I think that laptop swapping is the simplest way - do you agree? Best wishes, Andre.
Regards, Yutaka

Dear Yutaka,
sorry for the late reply - the OGF demo preparations somehow slipped down in my TODO list...

Dear Andre,
OGF-30 is coming next month. Can you let us know the status of the demo plan? We need to prepare for that.
As said in the previous mail, it might be simplest to aim for separate demos from the individual groups. That is much easier to orchestrate, and the setup effort is distributed amongst all of us that way. Also, as Sylvain says, we are able to show the broadness of the SAGA capabilities, which would be difficult if we had to agree on the least common denominator for a single demo.
Does that make sense?
IMHO, iRods would be an excellent OGF demo backend, given the consistent and strong OGF participation of the iRods developers and users!
The prototype of the irods replica adaptor will be available by then.
That is great news! :-D I'm quite sure that some SRM and iRods people will be in Brussels - we should invite them over :-)
Thanks, Andre.
