(Sorry for the late announcement, I've been away for a couple of days and I missed the reminder-for-the-reminder in the mail backlog.)

The Next BiG Grid meeting will be tomorrow, Monday 4 May 2009, from 13.30-14.30h in room H3.31.

I would like to bring some attention to the intent and content of these meetings. The point was raised last time that the people we're doing this for--the applications--were very much underrepresented in the meeting and have been for quite some time.

I feel the point was well made and is important enough to address to some degree; we've seen in the past that the exchange of information about what we're doing, both from operations and applications, is of mutual benefit and helps to come up with practical solutions for problems that would be hard to address without bringing people from both realms into the same room.

Having said that, the grid meeting is probably not the right forum to discuss this hiatus; still I would like to encourage everybody on this list who is in touch with application representatives to invite them to the meeting, which can be attended via videoconf if not in person.

Last but not least, due to the holidays the meeting of tomorrow may have a lower attendance than usual, so it may not run its full length.

Cheers,

Dennis van Dok
