OGF-EUROPE: Making an impact

• Promoting the value of standardisation enabling innovation

• Developing standards with end-users, developers, diverse groups

• Connecting user groups to share best practices & transform them into standards

• Supporting the implementation of European standards• Fostering synergies between other SDOs such as W3C,

SNIA, DMTF, OASIS• Ensuring OGF standards are aligned with the needs of

European stakeholders

3

Driving Standards Forward• Bridging the gap between OGF standards and the needs of

Stakeholders• Active in creation of introducing OGF-Europe Workshops on

transition to cloud computing and data services• Industry Expert Group (IEG): 17 distinguished & voluntary group of

industry members• Analysing the needs of EU businesses & ensuring OGF standards

are aligned with industry needs• Reports on adoption challenges, best practices & user case studies• Introducing & Sensibilising the Next Generation of Scholars

– Development of the Student Scholar Programme – Supported the Student scholars at OGF23 & OFG25

Accomplishments so far 1 of 3

• 1st International Event - OGF23, Barcelona, ES, June 2008 >530 attendees, international press coverage, press conference, rapporteur reports on main results

• Community Outreach Seminars Selected Themes In collaboration with OGF: Digital Repositories, Green IT, Grids & Cloud Computing, Software Development, Service Oriented Infrastructures - a Telco industry perspective, Creative Industries

• Adoption Challenges Reports• Digital Repositories: Evolving a Community– First Digital Repositories Community Outreach Seminar– Workshop @ IDCC, Edinburgh, UK, December 1-2, 2008– Supporting the OGF Data WG– Community Best Practice Report– Follow-Up at OGF25

Accomplishments so far 2 of 3

• Grid Interoperability Now (GIN -CG) Workshops – Supporting through secretarial support to dedicated meetings throughout

2008– Reps. Of OGF-Europe assisted in the meetings to ensure real production

level interoperability which has led to a new OGF WG est. the Production Grid Infrastructure PGI-WG

• OGF-Europe Tutorials focus on:– Managing computational activities on the grid, exploring core OGF

standards, such as OGSA-BES, JSDL, HPC-BP and GLUE.– As the gLite, UNICORE & ARC middleware are implementing these

standards, it is important to try the working systems and stimulate early feedback.

– The management of storage spaces and files in complex storage systems using the SRM (Storage Resource Manager)

Accomplishments so far 3 of 3

• OGF24 - EU & Asia-Pacific Co-operation on Grids & Future Challenges

• Survey Year 1 Designed to connect with the end-user Grid• Cloudscape > 100 participants met in Brussels Jan ’09 for

Cloudscape “Exploiring Cloud Computing & its impact on Enterprise IT” – Outcome report Publicly available

• 2nd International event OGF25, in collaboration with 4th EGEE User Forum >580 attendees, 19 demos, > 40 posters & 10 exhibition booths

Planned for [2009-2010]• Survey yr 2 Feedback of specific standards to create

profiles and flags for pursuing best practicesWatch your email Tuesday 4th March !

• Engaging with Standard Related Projects of FP6 & FP7

• Community Outreach Seminars– Creative Industries– Cloud Computing – Green IT– Service Oriented Infrastructures in Telco Industry
