> Call for Community Participation
> GGF14
> June 26-29, 2005
> Chicago, Illinois USA
> 
> The primary focus of GGF14 will be the Working and Research Group sessions. 
> Groups will focus on the continued development of shared approaches, grid 
> specifications and best practices for grids. Several critical drafts will 
> be discussed and advanced toward publication during this event.
> 
> In addition to these group sessions, GGF will offer a series of 30-60 
> minute invited talks and panels on the current and future status of Grids 
> in different communities such as sectors of research (e.g., Astronomy) and 
> industry (e.g, Telecommunications).  New areas such as education are also 
> solicited. This "community track" seeks to build new and strengthen 
> existing communities of interest in GGF. Both new and existing communities 
> are encouraged to submit a brief abstract for presentation in this 
> community track.  GGF14 attendees will gain unique insights from 
> applications and technology experts discussing innovative approaches to 
> deploying and using grids.  A community track overview document and slides 
> will be posted on the GGF14 website.
> 
> GGF also welcomes proposals for traditional workshops to be held at 
> GGF14.  Proposals will be evaluated by essentially the same process (GROC) 
> as in previous GGF meetings.  Please email communities at ggf.org for more 
> information if you are interested in proposing a GGF14 Workshop.
> 
> The community activities described above may run in parallel with other GGF 
> activities but every attempt will be made in scheduling these to minimize 
> unnecessary clashes.
> 
> Attendee feedback and participation will be helpful in shaping the 
> community activities for GGF15, which will be held on October 3-6 in 
> Boston. Please send us your opinions!
> 
> GGF COMMUNITY ACTIVITY KEY DATES &  DEADLINES
