It is our pleasure to announce that the “Grid Camp 2007, WLCG Tier - 2 & EU-IndiaGrid Workshop” will be held at Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan from 28 October to 1 November, 2007. The purpose of “Grid Camp 2007, WLCG Tier - 2 & EU-IndiaGrid Workshop” is to coordinate and provide Asia countries Grid operation support and training to enhance their ability to establish stable Grid environment. This event aims to train system administrators in preparation for deploying and operating a Grid resource centre, to expand e-Science infrastructure to extend the reach of Grid resources to end users, and to facilitate the regional e-Science infrastructure and application development and coordinate regional collaborations. The Camp consists of 3-day tutorial, 2-day WLCG Tier-2 and 1-day EU-IndiaGrid Workshop. The first 3-day tutorial is designed to help audiences quickly learning the important Grid concepts and gain practical Grid deployment skills. The tutorial starts with an introduction to EGEE infrastructure, followed by detailed presentations on the primary Grid middleware and components, such as gLite technical overview, Security and Information System, Work Load Management and Data Management. Presentations providing practical information on operating and maintaining a Grid resource centre are also included, such as administrating and troubleshooting a Grid resource centre, and hands-on testing. To set up a good and effective communication between Tier-1 and Tier-2 centres, the 2-day WLCG workshop will provide experiment specific training sessions for Tier-2 centres.
