[GFS-WG] Agenda for OGF-19 (Chapel Hill)

[Arun Jagatheesan]

Dear GFS-ers,
We start another year of our Data Grid community activities on our continued
mission to create open standard that cold lead to open Data Grid Management
Systems (DGMS).

As a step by step approach we have worked on Resource Namespace Service
specification for GFS. It has gone through public review period.  We will be
taking the next steps in making sure the user community (including
developers/vendors and end-users) can form a community to focus on software
that can be used for their requirements.
