  12. Reality Check:The Gartner Hype Cycle 12

  13. The Hype Is Over! • I'm glad! • Now we can get down to the serious work of focusing on key goals for grid use and adoption • Strong world-wide community! • Thought Leadership Series launched • Collaborations launched • In-depth workshops point to many attractive areas for important work • For both research and industrial application • Standards are starting to be adopted • HPC Basic Profile, JDSL, BES -- others in pipeline • OGF-Europe funded! 13

  14. The Hype Is Over! • Keeping OGF on a solid technical and financial foundation required a hard look at: • Who exactly is our core constituency? • Why do they needs grids? • What do they want from OGF? • What approach should OGF take as an organization with infrastructure and staff to address the needs of our core? • BOD Tiger Team started work in October, 2007 14

  17. Evolutionary Pressures on OGF • Nurture the community… • Good events on hot topics • … while nurturing key efforts that produce high impact results • For example, HPC-BP • Let a thousand flowers bloom… • Broad community support and innovation • … but put the fertilizer where it really seems like it will do the best • During the peak of the hype phase, we could do anything • But to achieve the Plateau of Productivity, we must carefully balance a thousand flowers and focused efforts. • Play to our strengths • Seek natural adjacencies for the development and use of grid technology • An OGF "Manifesto” • A Vision/Mission Statement of who we are and what we want to be 17
