The 22nd Open Grid Forum -- OGF22
Hyatt Regency Cambridge
Cambridge, MA USA
February 25-28, 2008
Website: http://www.ogf.org/OGF22/

Coworker Chris Dwan and I will be attending this event and one of us will likely end up speaking. Both of us are known to be somewhat cynical of the "big G" Grid Computing world so we'll be bringing our industry-centric views and bias towards practical solutions into the forum.

(I swear, when you speak to some of these "big G grid" supercomputing or academic folks you get the sense that they think that everyone has 100 million in government funding and a petabyte-scale single namespace storage solution to apply to the problems at hand....)

Among the other attendees that I know about, Chris Smith from Platform Computing will also be there -- he handles Platform's involvement with standards bodies and is another person on my "smart people that I learn a lot from" list. Should be an interesting event.

And finally, some discount registration offers for readers of this blog:

  • "Buy one 1 pass and get a 2nd for free"
  • "$150 discount off the purchase off the full day pass"
