SC07 demonstrations
by John Ehrig 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hello All, OGF is planning to produce a press release about our SC07 demo activities and produce a flyer that will highlight these activities. If your group is planning a SC07 demonstration, please email me so I can compile a complete list. So far, I am aware of the following demos: * HPCP * GIN * NML * GridRPC * Byte I/O (tentative) Are there others? If you will doing a demo and haven't already done so, please email me the following info: 1) A brief description (about 1 paragraph) of the demo, include whether the demo is of a published standard or is a prototype demo. 2) The demo booth(s) name and #. If the demo will only occur at specific times or days, please provide that info. 3) Demo contact name(s) and email address(es) in case someone that is at SC07 would like more information and will know who to ask for. 4) a brief description (about 1 paragraph) about the standard that the demo is based on; answering what the standard is, who should care (target users) and what benefit they will get from implementing or adopting the standard. 5) who I can follow up with if I need more info and how to best reach you. Optional: 1) Brief diagram of the demo 2) More details on all the above, if you want/can provide it Also, I would guess that many of the organizations that own the booths that are hosting, or helping to host, these demos are planning to produce marketing materials and signage in support of the demo. It would be great if you could ensure that the OGF logo is used in these materials (or that OGF is somehow otherwise noted).

New OGF document published in the Information track: GFD-I.118 Title: Execution Environment and Basic Execution Service Model in OGSA(R) Grids Authors/editors: Ellen Stokes Abstract: This memo provides information to the Grid community on the information modeling of execution environment and a basic execution service for OGSA (Open Grid Services Architecture). It defines the proposed execution environment element and basic execution service element for inclusion in DMTF's Common Information Model. Specific execution environments, such as the OGSA Basic Execution Services execution environment, should be defined as profiles and/or extension elements of execution environment. Operations specific to a service should not be part of the execution environment. Distribution is unlimited.

GridConnections Newsletter, October 2007
by Craig Lee 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

All, Today I officially take the reins as OGF's next president. I am excited by the opportunities in front of us but we must also have a clear understanding of what these opportunities require. Our challenge for the future is to shape the grid concept to meet the evolving spectrum of application requirements that we see happening all around us. I see this as the beginning of a new phase for OGF and I hope you all agree. In the attached OGF GridConnections newsletter, I have outlined a vision for our community moving forward. I hope you take the time to read it and provide me your feedback. (The newsletter is also available at: http://www.ogf.org/News/newscal_newsletter.php.) We must all stay active and engaged in order to achieve our common goal of accelerating Grid adoption in science and industry. I also want to encourage all of you to come to OGF21 where I hope to further the dialog and encourage a lively debate on the future of our community. We have made great strides thus far in 2007. Let's continue that momentum so that we enter 2008 fully prepared to take on the immediate challenges ahead. Complete information is available at: http://www.ogf.org/OGF21/events_ogf21.php. On a personal note, it was tremendously gratifying to receive the many congratulatory emails after the announcement was made of my assuming the responsibility of President of OGF. Thank you all for your kind words. I look forward with great optimism and anticipation to the next three years in OGF. --Craig
