[Ct-grid] 1st European Globus Community Forum: May 18-19
by David Groep 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Hi all, Both for your own interest as well as to forward to users and communities you like: the first European Globus Community Forum! Cheers, DavidG. We would like to inform you about the upcoming European Globus Community Forum (EGCF), taking place in Munich, Germany from May 18-19, 2011. Participation is free of charge: http://www.ige-project.eu/events/egcf1 This event will give current and new Globus users and developers the opportunity not only to learn about the state of the union of the Globus software stack and how the IGE project can help scientists to leverage resources of the European distributed computing infrastructures (DCIs) for their research, but also gives a unique opportunity to actively participate in the building of the Globus community in Europe. This is your chance to network with other European Globus users and developers, to get to know each other, and to learn how your colleagues employ Globus to advance their science projects. Lots of new features and services have been added to Globus lately, including hosted 'software as a service' and cloud offerings such as Globus Online! The agenda of the meeting features highlights such as * keynote by Steve Tuecke on future development of Globus and Globus Online, * keynote by Steven Newhouse on the EGI vision of the DCI landscape in Europe, and * the constitution of the EGCF Council and the election of its speaker. Besides these lighthouse events, workshops on the European Globus Hub, the IGE testbed, a European Globus Statistics Collector, and other important topics will take place, leaving plenty space for discussion on European requirements to Globus-related topics. A social dinner complements the event with genuine Bavarian food and drinks, and allows to mingle with colleagues and meet new people. The EGCF is an integral part of the IGE project, which coordinates the support for Globus in Europe — the voice of the users will be heard not only in the project itself, but also amplified towards the Globus developer team in the United States. As such, it provides a great opportunity to bring in a community-centric, science-biased view into the Globus view by providing requirements, requesting features, and discussing best practices.

Beste allen, Het Netherlands eScience Center (gevestigd in Matrix-1, hier op het Science Park) heeft een vacature voor een CTO / Head of Technology. Zie o.a.: http://www.surffoundation.nl/nl/oversurf/Pages/vacatures.aspx. Als je hiervoor belangstelling hebt, kan ik -indien gewenst- een beetje meer context geven. Loop dan even bij me langs. Groet, Arjen

FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: EGI User Virtualisation Workshop 12-13th May 2011 Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:58:21 +0200 From: Steven Newhouse <steven.newhouse(a)egi.eu> To: Representatives of FP7 technology projects within the EGI ecosystem. <dci-projects(a)mailman.egi.eu>, cloud-discuss(a)mailman.egi.eu, EGI InSPIRE collaboration board <inspire-cb(a)mailman.egi.eu>, EGI.eu Council <council(a)mailman.egi.eu>, inspire-cb-observers(a)mailman.egi.eu, Technology Coordination Board (TCB) discussions <tcb-discuss(a)mailman.egi.eu> CC: EGI-InSPIRE Project Management Board <inspire-pmb(a)mailman.egi.eu>, "EGI.eu Executive Board" <executive-board(a)mailman.egi.eu> *** Apologies for cross posting - but please redistribute to your relevant internal lists *** The EGI User Virtualisation Workshop in Amsterdam 12-13th May 2011 (http://go.egi.eu/uvw1) now has an updated and more detailed agenda on the website as a result of reflections at recent meetings. Please register by Friday 6th May 2011 so we can plan attendance. In addition we are asking for participation from: * Potential Users of virtualised resources: How do you expect to consume these interfaces? How do your plans match the 6 basic scenarios presented here - http://go.egi.eu/uvw1-scenarios? Do you have additional usage scenarios? If you would like to present how your needs will match these scenarios and how they may go beyond these please email michel.drescher(a)egi.eu. A template will be available in the next few days to help structure your presentation for the Thursday morning session. * Potential providers of resources & technology: The primary goal of the workshop is to accelerate the deployment and adoption of virtualised resources to provide a more flexible and responsive computing environment for our end-users. In the Friday afternoon session (after we have consolidated requirements and issues) we would like to give you the opportunity to say what you are planning to deploy/develop that could help meet the identified scenarios. We are not after prepared presentations but speakers willing to respond to issues raised during the workshop - even that morning! Please email michel.drescher(a)egi.eu if you are willing to do this so we can schedule responses. * Technical breakout sessions on the management interfaces, accounting, monitoring and information that is needed around virtualised resources. Volunteers to lead these sessions on the Thursday afternoon and to report back on the discussions on the Friday morning are requested. These breakouts will address what are the common interfaces or standards currently available in these areas? What is the maturity of the existing implementations? What issues need to be resolved before wider deployment or adoption. I look forward to seeing you all in Amsterdam in two weeks time for a productive and active workshop.
