Wolfgang Ziegler and I talked briefly about upcoming opportunities and think that the EGI event makes more sense for OGF to pursue than either the CAC (Boston September 2015) or UCC (Cyprus Dec. 2015) conferences at this time, although OGF does co-sponsor the AMGCC’15 workshop.  Perhaps we can advertise these other events as opportunities at which interested OGF groups might meet, and encourage a larger gathering at the the EGI event.

I will attend the EGI Community Forum in Bari, I can represent the
OCCI WG there if need be.

The security groups could overlap with what the AARC project will be proposing (which in turn overlaps with some of the EGI stuff), but I am unsure of what the remaining groups in OGF are planning (or would be planning if they were planning). It doesn't matter so much now except that we need to know roughly how much time and how many rooms we need and then roughly the classification of topics.

Or we can have two parallel tracks one day and a joined up one the second.
