Dear OGF Organizational Member,

OGF22, February 25-29, 2008 in Cambridge (Boston) Massachusetts, is now open
for registration and the program committee is hard at work putting together
a unique and interesting program.  For example, we will have several special
workshops and tracks at OGF22 including a full day 'data management' program
which is being co-produced by OGF and the Storage Networking Industry
Association (SNIA); half day workshops with the Financial Services and
Pharma industries; sessions and case studies focused on OGF specification
adoption which has recently picked up significantly; and a full day
enterprise program that will explore Grids in the IT data center, Grids and
virtualization, and HPC applications. 

This will be our only OGF event in the USA for all of 2008, so please
strongly consider sponsoring if you are interested in reaching this
audience.
