Lambda workshops are by invitation only but always attached to an open event related to lambda networking:
September 2001: first Lambda Workshop in Amsterdam followed by open Lambda Workshop organized by TERENA
September 2002: second Lambda Workshop in Amsterdam attached to iGRID 2002
August 2003: third Lambda Workshop in Reykjavik attached to NORDUnet 2003

7. Lambda Workshop Reykjavik
Lambda planning and coordination activity attended by 33 participants from Europe, Asia and North America
LambdaGRID name was questioned and it was agreed to continue under the name:
GLIF: Global Lambda Integrated Facility
GLIF will be managed as a cooperative activity
GLIF.IS will be launched soon as home for all interested in the GLIF activities

8. Next steps
Preparation of demo’s at SC2003
Reaching out to the application developers
Adding more equipment, services and lambdas to GLIF, national and international
Setting up the GLIF.IS portal
Next Lambda Workshop will be attached to the UK e-Science Conference in September 2004
