[wg-all] Registration and Call for Session Proposals for OGF 40, 15-17 January 2014, Oxford, UK

[Sill, Alan]

The 40th gathering of the Open Grid Forum will be held Wednesday, 15 January through Friday, 17 January 2014 on the campus of Oxford University in the United Kingdom. The Oxford e-Research Centre is helping to coordinate arrangements for this meeting.

This meeting will follow closely after meetings earlier in the week of the EGI Federated Cloud project and will be closely scheduled to be convenient to attendees of the EUGridPMA and SCI groups to be held in Abingdon, no far away.
