E N D
Overall Community Objectives • Establish new, and grow & nurture existing international research and industry communities • Help end-users understand and use Grid technology • Identify, prioritize and drive requirements and use cases into the GGF standards process • Champion efforts to make GGF standards valuable for software suppliers & developers to adopt
Success Metrics • High member satisfaction (events and overall) • Year/year growth of end user membership, event attendance and overall community • High ratings on event content • End-user success stories and references in terms of: • being helped in understanding and use of Grid technology, • value of participating in GGF overall • value delivered by Grid technology • Growth in number and size of VOC groups • Positive PR/AR on value of GGF to end-users and vendors • Growth of VAF • High VAF member satisfaction (events and overall) • Vendor success stories and references (e.g. usability tests of OGSA)
Overall Community Deliverables • Provide content for GGF events • Help attendees understand and use Grid technology • Build Voice-of-the-Community (VOC) groups across key verticals • Establish interaction mechanism with Standards function to drive VOCs into the GGF standards process • Establish Vendor Adoption Forum (VAF) to champion efforts to make GGF standards valuable for software suppliers & developers to adopt • Establish interaction mechanism with Standards function to drive VAF results into the GGF standards process
Objectives & Measures – Community Measures Objectives
Community F2F Jan’06 Results(pg 1 of 2) • New Community Areas and rethinking existing Community Areas • Socialize Vendor Adoption Forum Concept at GGF16 • Socialize VOC to Telco-CG at GGF16 • Vendor Adoption Forum BoF at GGF17 • Vendor Adoption Forum 1st Meeting at GGF18 • Establish GCAB by GGF17 • Establish Standards/Community interaction team
Community F2F Jan’06 Results(pg 2 of 2) • Accreditation of GGF documents • Research gap analysis (what are the topics that we’re not covering) • Co-locate with academic conferences • Major Grid Project Directory • Develop ways of collaboration among major grid projects (e.g., in the area of migrating to new software releases) • Establish a means for exchanging grid technology components
Flow of Tangibles Interaction The GGF Ecosystem End-User & Technology Communities “MAKE END-USERS SUCCESSFUL” “MAKE STANDARDS RELEVANT” Use Cases, Requirements and Prototypes Solutions and Building Blocks Create Value Deliver Value Standards Groups Vendor, Developers, Open Source Communities Architectures and Specifications “MAKE STANDARDS COST EFFECTIVE TO APPLY”
Community Board of Advisors • Potentially large, persistent group representing thought leadership and key participants in the community at-large • Members would not necessarily hold official GGF positions (i.e. not necessarily GSFG members) • Small time commitment since responsibilities would mainly be to review and suggest ideas to influence the community structure, operation, activities, etc. • No formal meetings except possibly at major GGF events, i.e. interaction is primarily via e-mail • Balance between academic/research, industry, vendor and end-user, nontraditional Grid
Overall Community Deliverables • Provide content for both GGF and non-GGF events to help end-users understand and use Grid technology • Provide content for both GGF and non-GGF events to help vendors understand GGF and GGF standards • Recruit/retain Community members • Establish international Community regions • Recruit thought leaders and key orgs • Build Voice-of-the-Community (VOC) groups across all key verticals • Use VOC documents to identify, prioritize end-user requirements and use cases • Establish close interaction with Standards Function to drive VOCs into the GGF standards process • Make VOCs documents easily/readily available • Establish Vendor Adoption Forum (VAF) to champion efforts to make GGF standards valuable for software suppliers & developers to adopt • Use VAF to drive GGF standards adoption
Community Mission Build international communities to make Grid technology available to research and industry, then help them achieve high business value through the use of Grid technology
