[wg-all] Redmine static archive complete; move to new OpenGridforum organizational pages on GitHub

[Sill, Alan]

Dear OGF community members,

The static archive of the previous OGF Redmine site is now completed and online at the same location as before (https://redmine.ogf.org) with all documents, working group meeting minutes, and even a built-in internal archive of the previous GridForge content in summary form as before under the IT project. A separate GridForge archive with more of the older site is also being built and will be deployed at some point in the near future to give even fuller provenance and a record of development for OGF documents and standards.

As we complete this, we are officially moving all new development for OGF activities to the https://github.com/opengridforum organizational pages on GitHub. Some groups are still active, and with the ability provided above for previous groups to fetch their older content from the Redmine site archive, the stage is set for any groups that want to continue their previous activities, to start new ones, or to suggest other modifications or variations on OGF’s engagement and involvement with the advanced distributed computing, cloud, grid, and network development community. The description given on the https://www.ogf.org web site is still relevant:


OGF is an open global community committed to driving the rapid evolution and adoption of modern advanced applied distributed computing, including cloud, grid and associated storage, networking and workflow methods. OGF is focused on developing and promoting innovative scalable techniques, applications and infrastructures to improve productivity in the enterprise and within the international research, science and business communities.

OGF accomplishes its work through open forums, interactions and events that build the community, explore trends, share optimal approaches, document findings and consolidate these results where appropriate into standards. The output products that result from this process document and codify best practices and standards that provide the basis for some of the largest and most powerful operational computing infrastructure systems in the world.

Several new efforts are underway to modernize and make relevant the various activities of the community and to create new ways for those interested in these topics to communicate. Please stand by for some new announcements that will set the context and provide information for these efforts. Meanwhile please feel free to make use of the resources above and provide feedback (ideally as pull requests for the relevant components on GitHub) for things you find on which you can suggest refinements or improvements. Thanks for all you do to improve the community.
