[gin] Standards Roadmap/GIN BOF Friday 13:45

[Dane Skow]

Hello all,

I'd like to make you aware of a BOF to be held at 13:45 on Friday in  
G408 for a discussion between the Standards activities and the GIN  
effort.

The goal of this meeting is to summarize a report out from the GIN  
experiences to date and have a discussion about how best that work  
might inform/feedback on the standards development. The Grid  
Interoperation Now (GIN) activity is a federation of ~15 of the major  
production grids across the world who are trying to establish islands  
of interoperation between grids on a few basic services. Agreements  
of various types needed to be made in order to establish this  
interoperation (which we are still building/verifying). Some  
agreements were selecting a standard, but others were conventions  
needed to fill a gap: either because there were not adequate  
implementations of a standard or missing an effective standard.

The format of the meeting is intended to be an open discussion.  
Standards Focus group chairs and GIN participants are particularly  
invited to attend.

Rough agenda:

GIN experiences reportout (panel) (20 min)
	Identity and Authorization (Dane Skow)
	Information Services and Schema (Satoshi Matsuoka)
	Jobs Submission and Management (Steven Newhouse)
	Data Movement and Management (Erwin Laure)
	Applications (Peter Arzberger)

Open Discussion (60 min)

Regards,
Dane
