[rus-wg] Resource Usage Service WG Meeting in Seoul

[Jon MacLaren]

All,

This is a "call to arms" if you like, regarding the RUS specification.  
Within the UK Markets project, there has been some good work recently 
to adapt the Resource Usage Service following the demise of OGSI.

An implementation has also been created and tested at the University of 
Manchester.  The service is likely to be deployed on the UK National 
Grid Service, and may also become part of future releases of the OMII 
software.

Given this activity - more than there has been for some time, we want 
to push the revised version of the specification forward.  To try to 
standardise it.  However, this will be hard if there is no engagement 
from the community.  Accountancy, while not glamorous, is essential to 
Grid computing.  I urge those of you on the list who are attending the 
Seoul meeting to please come along and support this work.

And if you can't come to Seoul, then it would be great if you could 
just comment on the spec on the mailing list...

The meeting is on Tuesday, March 15 from 3pm-4:30pm in the Sapphire 
Ballroom 1.

The up-to-date specification, currently based on WS-I, can be found on 
our mailing list archives at:

Thanks for your time,

Jon MacLaren.
