[gin] Campus Bridging: Software & Software Service Issues Workshop Report

[Etienne URBAH]

To SIENA REB, OGF GIN, EDGI and DEGISCO :

iSGTW just published the executive summary of 'Campus Bridging: Software 
& Software Service Issues Workshop Report' at 
http://www.isgtw.org/feature/research-report-campus-bridging

The workshop focused on two goals:
-  Finding common elements of software stacks widely usable across the 
nation/world, in order to promote interoperability/economy of scale; and
-  Suggested policy documents that any research university should have 
in place.

The full report is available at http://hdl.handle.net/2022/13070

The first recommendation is that 'NSF must lead the establishment of a 
coordinated, national cyberinfrastructure support system to provide user 
support and expert guidance for using cyberinfrastructure [for science]. 
This system should be constructed in concert with and with contributions 
from campuses, regional providers, and CI projects.'

Therefore, I think that this report is of high importance for :
-  European Roadmap on Grid and Cloud Standards,
-  Grid Interoperation Now,
-  EDGI and DEGISCO.

Best regards.
