Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI EGEE-III status & plans - Bob Jones – CB - 3 March EGEE→EGI transition planning

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI EGEE-III status & plans - Bob Jones – CB - 3 March EGEE→EGI transition planning Transition plan produced in Dec’08 This plan (DNA1.4) details the steps needed to migrate EGEE’s operation to EGI, identified major risks and open issues with input from 19 collaborating projects. Used as input for the final version of the EGI Blueprint endorsed by national representatives in Prague in Jan’09

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI Key objectives for this event Advance standards for production grid infrastructures –26 OGF working groups have scheduled meetings  11 with key input from EGEE 3 area directors, 10 (co-chairs) All EGEE members are linked to at least one user community –Bring the users needs to the standards table Learn from each other –Cross-fertilisation between communities/VOs/applications Take European grids to the next level –Advance with the planning of EGI and the transition from current projects EGEE - Bob Jones - OGF25/User Forum March Take time to enjoy each others company and beautiful Sicily
