User Community Transition from EGEE to EGI

Goals: This workshop is intended to bring together people in the grid user community with those planning the future European Grid Infrastructure.

• One goal of the workshop is for users to understand how current support functions will be handled in the EGI-era and how the users and scientific communities are expected to interact with the EGI/NGI management.
• The second goal is for those involved in EGI_DS to understand the expectations/needs of the user community and to use that information to inform their design decisions.

Getting Here: The Laboratoire de l'Accelerateur Lineaire (LAL) is located about 25 km south of the center of Paris and is easily accessible via the RER B (Metro). The LAL website contains detailed information about how to get to LAL from the Paris airports and train stations. Accommodation: Please make reservations directly with your hotel. The list of hotels on LAL's website contains hotels in the 5th, 6th, 13th and 14th "arrondissements" as well as a few near the Orsay campus. The above neighborhoods are the most convenient for catching the RER B train to Orsay. Mailing Lists: There have been two mailing lists created for the conference: speakers and participants. You must be on the list to post to it in order to avoid spam.
