[CCGT] GGF14 survey comments and GridWorld/GGF15

[Julie Wulf-Knoerzer]

Dear all,
Below, you will find some community-oriented suggestions that I have 
extracted from the GGF14 attendee surveys.  If possible, I would like you 
to take a look at the attendee feedback below and identify projects (and/or 
individuals) that we might solicit directly for the GGF15 Community 
Program.  The complete CFP (along with online submission) can be found at 
http://www.ggf.org/ggf_events_communityInvolvment_ggf15.htm.
As you know, the deadline for the Community CFP is next week, 
12-Aug.  Please feel free to send your suggestions to me and I will send 
the CFP on behalf of the community council.
Thanks,
Julie

Please enter any suggestions you have about helping GGF to engage new 
communities?
·Provide general grid background information on website
·Be more open and promote your openers
·Clear value proposition for engaging with GGF
·Joint sessions
·Try to co-locate important events of communities

·Difficult. One advise: don’t overpromise! What can GGF offer now?
·Road show showing GGF technology to users
·Webpage that provides lines to different area in vertical markets.
·Develop a “marketing plan”
·Re-design the website. People new to the site will not understand areas, 
Groups (working and research), communities, but navigating the site seems 
to be oriented around these entities.
·Success stories. Product showcase.
·More industry and commercial focus, perhaps with EGA
·Provide workshops for grid beginners.
