[ogsa-wg] Teleconference minutes - 1 August 2005

[Ian Foster]

I'd recommend that we simply delete the list of projects, and say something 
about "various open source software provide ..."

The original text was intended to say something specific: that Globus 
provided a particularly high-quality and widely used implementation of many 
OGSA-relevant specifications and thus played a particularly important role 
in OGSA work. (This text was proposed by Mark Linesch, by the way, not by 
me.) Clearly, others didn't like to see Globus called out in this way, and 
so the single mention of Globus has grown into a list. Of course, once you 
have a list, it will be always be incomplete. Further, any inclusion in an 
OGSA roadmap implies some form of endorsement, and I don't think we have 
enough knowledge about all of the listed software to know whether they all 
provide robust implementations of OGSA-relevant specifications, as is 
implied. For both those reasons, I recommend that we delete the list.
