To: All members of the Globus community
The program committee for the 22nd Open Grid Forum (OGF22) has
provided space in the program for a series of presentations by past
and current Globus users to relate what they have experienced,
accomplished, and learned while using Globus software. In particular,
there's great interest in hearing stories about why you decided to try
Globus software, what benefits you hoped to obtain by using it, what
you found in practice, and what it all resulted in from *your*
perspective.
The workshop will be held in the afternoon on Tuesday, January 28, at
OGF22 in Cambridge, MA. (See http://www.ogf.org/OGF22/ for more about
OGF22.) Note that this is early in the week, so it can be a great way
to find people you'll want to follow up with later on in the meetings.
**************
With co-organizers Stuart Martin and Ravi Madduri, I am excited to
invite you to sign up for a presentation slot! We are aiming for
30min presentations, focused on the goals that were relevant to your
use of Globus software (what were you trying to accomplish?) and your
results. Please send your presentation idea(s) to me, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>. Please be sure to identify the work that you are engaged in (e.g.,
"developing a data repository for ecological observations" or
"implementing a collaboration framework for students") in addition to
any relevant project names. Also, if you have scheduling constraints
(other things you need to do that afternoon) let me know so we can
consider them when building the schedule.
**************
If you are already registered for OGF22, this will be a great "bonus"
opportunity to have some floor time to introduce yourself and your
work to other members of the Grid community. I hope you'll take this
opportunity to share your experience, to meet other Globus software
users, or just to listen and learn about what others have been doing
with Globus software.
If you are not already planning to be at OGF22, I will simply
encourage you to consider a trip to Cambridge MA anyway. OGF meetings
are a great way to encounter other members of the Grid community, find
people with similar interests and challenges, and identify new
possibilities for collaboration and community building. You do not
need to be working in a standards group to get a lot out of an OGF
meeting! (Single day registration is available at a reasonable
price.) The program and accommodation information are available athttp://www.ogf.org/OGF22/
.
I look forward to seeing you at OGF22, and hope that you will consider
presenting your work during this special workshop.
Sincerely,
Lee Liming
