[LSG-RG] [LSG-RG @ OGF] February 2008 Proteomics Meeting

[Richard Sinnott]

If we are planning/discussing these via email, then can I suggest that
the talks are applications of OGF specs/implementations applied to the
proteomics/mass spec domain. Otherwise, and being my usual being devils
advocate, what is the point of having these presentations at OGF and not
somewhere else?

The LSG-RG SHOULD be about informing OGF and hence OGSA standards (what
works and what doesn't etc). It should NOT be about life sciences more
generally - there are many conferences out there for that. 

If nobody is using the OGF specs / implementations in proteomics-land
right now (which would not altogether surprise me), then another
alternative is to have someone present their proteomics requirements and
have OGF/OGSA area directors/WG leaders come in and discuss how their
various efforts meet those requirements. I feel that the results of this
would be much more use to OGF/OGSA as a whole.

Thoughts? Flames? ...

Rich

Dear all:

I would like to apologize for the previous message sent without a proper
introduction.  My private e-mail message was forwarded to the list
without my permission, but hopefully it didn't confuse anyone.

This is an e-mail message regarding the Life Science Grid Research Group
(LSG-RG) in the Open Grid Forum (OGF), formerly the Global Grid Forum
(GGF).

I will give a background of this group at the end of this message.
First, though, let me state the purpose of this message.

Our group has been extremely active since 2002, but the visibility of
our activities has waned.  One suggestion, which we believe is quite on
target, was to plan future meetings through our e-mail list (through
which you are receiving this message).

I would like to start out such an effort by asking for input in planning
our next meeting, which will be help in February 2008 in Boston.  At the
meeting in Seattle last week, the attendees were extremely interested in
the proteomics presentations, and the group decided that we would
solicit proteomics experts to speak at the next meeting.

Thus, I would like to extend a call for presentations in proteomics.  We
would like to specifically look for proteomic mass spectrometry
presentations, but all will be considered.  I would like the membership
of this e-mail list to help us in the solicitation of speakers, and
would like to solicit your input into what topics and/or speakers we
should pursue.

I'm looking forward to input from all.

=================
The LSG-RG (Life Science Grid Research Group) is a group in OGF (Open
Grid Forum) which was formed with the purpose of developing best
practices in the area of the Life Sciences in the intersection with Grid
Computing.  The group also serves the purpose of interfacing with the
other group in OGF and ensuring that all standards created by OGF take
into account the requirements of applications in the Life Sciences.
