Meeting materials from GGF18 + document in public comment
by Inder Monga 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

Dear All, We had a very engaging session on Firewalls in GGF 18 with our first document in public comment, MIDCOM chair presenting from IETF, kick-starting the work on the solutions document and research presentations on new proposed solutions. Thanks Ralph, Melinda, Thijs and Jeff. We had some good discussion on Virtualizing the Firewall and making it a Grid-managed resource. There is still active discussion that needs to happen on what that entails -- we are soliciting presentations on that topic for the next GGF. The presentations from the meeting is uploaded to the FI-RG gridforge site under Meeting materials. The link is: http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/listDocuments/projects.fi-rg/doc man.root.meeting_materials.ggf18?_message=1158239811367 NOTE: our first document is in public comment. So please step up and submit comments to the document even if you have nothing you would like to change -- in which case please ensure the OGF editor knows that you have read the document and that you like it the way it is. http://www.ggf.org/gf/docs/?public_comment Thijs will be sending more information on the solution document and the wiki methods soon. Look forward to all of your participation, Thanks, Inder

First release of the Daonity system
by Wenbo Mao 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

The Daonity team of Trusted Computing Research Group (TC-RG) has completed the first release of the Daonity system. We wish that the home location for downloading the open source package be under the TC-RG home with OGF, eg, http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/projects/tc-rg/daonity/ So far it has a small problem to do so. I am working with the OGF officials to sort it out. If we cannot sort the problem out in a couple of days, I shall release it under my personal home page as a temporary location. The attached short paper (to appear in 1st ACM Workshop for Scalable Trusted Computing) manifests a Daibuty usecase scenario. It is a dynamic VO, with a "distributed firewall": no VO member is allowed to disseminate the VO discussions to a non-member, and when a VO member is removed from the VO, it cannot take away the VO data with it. In Washington DC (Wed, 18:30-20:00, Location 155), I will do a demo show the system in the above usecase scenario. Best regards, Wenbo

[wg-all] Mailing List Changes
by Andre Merzky 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

Sorry for duplicates ------------------------------------------------------------ As of yesterday, all GGF/OGF mailing lists are migrated to the ogf domain. They are now managed by mailman, the web interface is available at http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo With that migration, all list can be now reached via <list>@ogf.org The old @ggf.org addresses will be available for some time, but are bound to disappear eventually - please start using the ogf addresses! A number of lists have changed their names: ggf-it --> ogf-it ggf-office --> ogf-office ggf-proc-wg --> ogf-proc-wg ggf-sponsors --> ogf-sponsors ggf-tutorials --> ogf-tutorials ggf-compute --> ogf-compute ggflistowners --> ogflistowners ggfstudentmembers --> ogfstudentmembers Postings to the old list names get forwarded to the new ones. With the migration we have also been able to fix the archives - you may have noticed that list archiving stopped sometime in mid June. Well, now its working again, and all mails from June to now have been added to the archive. The list archives can be found at: http://www.ogf.org/archives/<list> If you are an list administrator, and would like to receive the list admin password, please contact postmaster(a)ogf.org. In general, however, we tried to map the old majordomo settings to the mailman settings, in terms of privacy etc, so no or little changes should be required from your side. The spam avoidance policy has been changed to some extent, and is somewhat stricter than before. Please let us know if you experience any trouble with that. On all questions in respect to mailing lists, or mails in general, please contact postmaster(a)ogf.org. Best regards, Andre. -- "So much time, so little to do..." -- Garfield -- wg-all mailing list wg-all(a)ogf.org http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/wg-all
