Hello Alan,

thank you very much for your thorough answer. You managed to cover
everything I could have asked :-)

Cheers, Boris

The main costs we have to cover are those for the room, meal and break arrangements and when one plans a conference, knowing how many will attend is the main point when calculating the risk to the organization for making these commitments. With a CAC registration, they cover all of the associated arrangements for these details and we are just another activity within the conference; plus this allows you to meet and interact with other attendees in an organized way.

Our plans are to put groups like GLUE, BES, JSDL etc. into the Wednesday and Thursday time slots, and the Security area groups have not yet specified a preference. There is a workshop on cloud security on Monday of the week as part of the CAC conference, which might make a nice matching with the OGF cloud and OCCI stuff towards the front of the week if you want to justify a full-week registration, and there is a co-sponsored OGF and CAC workshop on autonomic management of clouds and grids also that is organized for Friday, which although separate from the OGF sessions and academically oriented, might also be of interest.

(You are an OGF member officially if you have attended 2 events within the past 2 years, I believe, or it might be 2 f the last 3 events - I will check - or are a member of one of our sponsoring organizations. You can also buy an individual membership good for one year for $200 per year, which just as for the above membership options gets you the reduced membership-based price for attending OGF events. In this case that is a $150 discount, so it is almost worthwhile.)

My honest feeling is that it will not be a lot less than the above costs, but we can look into this if we plan quickly.

> So as a summary: We hope to contain most OGF and DRMAA and related meetings into the 2-day interval of Tuesday and Wednesday September 9-10, for which a 2-day pass for the CAC at $400 would be sufficient. We encourage you to look at the options of coming earlier (e.g. in time for the cloud security workshop) or staying later for the Friday AMGCC workshop and/or interacting with some of the other OGF groups to make a full-week stay at the conference worthwhile. OGF membership rates if booked by Aug. 1st are only $600 for the full week (it says IEEE on the web site but if you get to the registration page itself it does say IEEE or OGF on that form), which is the same as a 3-day pass. You can also purchase an OGF membership for $200, which will get you discounts for registration at OGF events when we organize them ourselves - or a $150 discount in this case.
