> During OGF 24 we discussed some options for activities at SC08:

> * Deploy compliant implementations. Record those organizations present

>
> * Interoperability tests around the File Staging profile. Use as the
> basis of writing and submitting the experience document to the
> specification from proposed to recommended. Need to define which (of
> the optional) file staging protocols we should use the resources
> available for testing the endpoints.

> * Implementing and using the Application Template. This provides a
> mechanism to reduce the amount of endpoint specific information a
> client has to provide to start an activity on a resource. This
> information is provided (transparently) server side by the endpoint.
> There is a draft specification. The SC08 experience could be used to
> refine it.
>
> * GLUE. We could use GLUE (if we can agree on a simple way to provide
> the information and what information to provide) to guide some simple
> resource selection between HPCBP endpoints. This could be combined with
> the Application Template to some simple brokering between jobs.
