GGF10 Meeting Minutes

Review of Current State of the Group
  1) Inconsistency interfering with goals
  2) Member input very low
How to make a good idea work: Get involvement from existing production & persistent grids
Where/How to bring in OGSA: Host an OGSA-based workshop

Charter Review:
The charter is still relevant, but consensus was that the group should focus more on providing a venue for GGF members 
who are creating and/or operating production or persistent grids. People are looking for use cases (witness the 
attendence of case-oriented workshops) and are much less willing to write papers. This RG can meet these needs by 
focusing on hosting and supporting GGF workshops and providing a "frequently-asked-questions" type resource for sites 
building and/or running grids.

Constraints:
1) Don't duplicate what other WG/RG are doing (e.g. User Services)
2) Make sure that our activities have a well-defined purpose that adds value to the Grid community

Action Items:
1) Survey GGF membership (and other well-known production/peristent grids) to capture overview of current state of the 
art.
  a) Volunteers: 
      Rajesh Chhabra
      Steve Newhouse
      Doug Olson
      Yoshio Tanaka
      Judith Utley
      David Wallom
  b) Tasks (prior to GGF11):
      i) Define what we want to learn from the survey
      ii) Identify survey targets (who/which sites) to contact
      iii) Draft survey
2) Establish "Program Committee" to focus on meeting and workshop effectiveness
  a) Volunteers:
      Laura McGinnis
      Steve Newhouse
      Doug Olson
      Miroslav Ruda
      David Wallom
  b) Tasks (prior to GGF11)
      i) Identify purpose of GGF11 session
      ii) Resolve logistics:
          - Request back-to-back blocks for GGF11
          - Establish document repository for papers and presentations
      iii) Identify/invite sites to send speakers to the GGF11 session

Summary:
PGM-RG must focus on purpose, not pocess. Why are we concerned with production grid issues? What do we want to know? Why
? What value can/should we add to the Grid community?
