[wg-all] OSG All Hands Meeting, GENI Engineering Conference, XSEDE 2014 and other conferences of interest to OGF community

[Sill, Alan]

Dear OGF colleagues,

Please take note of the Open Science Grid All-Hands Meting and associated Federated Storage Workshop coming up at SLAC in Palo Alto, California April 7-11, 2014. While OGF's next scheduled meetings will be at the XSEDE 2014 conference July 13-18 in Atlanta, the Open Science Grid meetings, US ATLAS and CMS computing workshops, new technology discussions and Federated Storage Workshop will be of interest to many of our OGF participants and we encourage you if so to register and to attend.

Other meetings of interest to OGF include the 19th GENI Engineering Conference March 17-19, 2014 also in Atlanta, which will include a GLIF Technical Working Group meeting at which the OGF NSI recent progress will be discussed and the NSI Implementation Task Force will meet, and the EGI Community Forum 2014 to be held in Helsinki, Finland 19-23 May 2014. Links for these meetings are also included below.

Ideas for BOFs, OGF work group meetings, and other community activities to be held at the next OGF at XSEDE 2014 are solicited, and a Call for Session Proposals will go out to this effect shortly. Meanwhile please take advantage of the opportunities to interact with your colleagues at the meetings described above and below, and please feel free to contact us if you are planning or anticipate planning any other meetings of interest.
