Description
In today’s global economy, users are challenged to work in new ways using new technologies – often in collaboration with other organizations, departments, and/or disciplines. Grid users are pioneers in a sense – experiencing both the successes, frustrations and failures associated with this new world of work firsthand. During this session, Open Grid Forum (OGF) President, Mark Linesch, will discuss the state of grid adoption around the world. He will describe the mission and role of OGF in accelerating grid adoption and discuss key areas of focus for the organization including the important role users’ play in influencing OGF directions and standards. Finally Mark will highlight the benefits of actively participating in the OGF community for users in a variety of public and private sectors.
