5. Extension additions 5.5 extra FTEs (4 new, 1.5 as a result of conclusion of Caltech and RENCI work) –Thanks you RPs! –2.0 new FTEs committed for RP activities through extension negotiations 1.5 at ORNL – SNS, REDDnet, Datanet, vis.5 at IU – Quarry –Lots of good ideas from all sites for new activities TeraGrid Quarterly, September 24-25, 2009

6. What’s ending in PY5 and what’s staying the same Work at Caltech and RENCI concludes in PY5 –Move by TeraGrid to reduce the cost of subcontracts for sites with more smaller FTE budgets Development attribute-based authentication work concludes in the gateway area in PY5 The return of Nancy and Stu to coordinate the program TeraGrid Quarterly, September 24-25, 2009

7. New in the Extension Helpdesk support expanded –From.2 FTE in PY5 to 1.7 in Extension [NCSA, Purdue] Helpdesk and Condor support, new GIS communities, SimpleGrid extensions Accounting –Improved views for gateways now that we have attributes [TACC] Community accounts –Continued work toward improved standardization [NICS] Prebuilt VMs with gateway software –OGCE, SimpleGrid [IU, NCSA] Online tutorials with CI Tutor and the EOT team –OGCE, SimpleGrid [IU, NCSA] More example-based documentation –Less talk, more action, short videos, based on user feedback [NCSA, SDSC] TeraGrid Quarterly, September 24-25, 2009

8. Targeted Support in the Extension All staff available for assignments as new projects come in Cactus –Meet the needs of several groups with large TG allocations [LONI] GridChem, PolarGrid, Ultrascan –Scheduling, vis, Matlab processing, processing of centrifuge data for large international project [IU] CCSM-ESG –Continuing work to combine capabilities [NCAR, Purdue] New earth science gateway [NCAR] SNS [ORNL] Improved web service support [SDSC] Continued OpenSocial work [U Chicago] Improved use of remote vis resources by gateways [ORNL] TeraGrid Quarterly, September 24-25, 2009

9. Where did the new FTEs go? Recall 2 were committed and 3.5 remained to be assigned IU, LONI, NCAR, SDSC, TACC up by.5 Purdue up 1.0 U Chicago up.2 – Globus gadget work NCSA staffing reoriented from attributes to help desk TeraGrid Quarterly, September 24-25, 2009

10. What else is exciting? SGW funding a Cyberinfrastructure in GIS workshop in conjunction with the UCGIS meeting in DC in February –Co-led by Shaowen Wang at NCSA and Nancy –Approved by UCGIS board after a lengthy voting process –Winter UCGIS meeting will focus on CI and includes a White House briefing Workshop attendees welcome to attend the briefing Briefing will include very short recap of the workshop –Expected outcome of the workshop Increased visibility New partnerships for TeraGrid, UCGIS, and other pertinent organizations Workshop report Interesting collaborative proposal ideas Potential future publications TeraGrid Quarterly, September 24-25, 2009
