The OGF Mission Statement

" OGF is an open community committed to

driving the rapid evolution and adoption of

applied distributed computing. Applied

Distributed Computing is critical to developing

new, innovative and scalable applications and

infrastructures that are essential to

productivity in the enterprise and within the

science community."


How Do We Do This?

• Community Building & Outreach

• Best Practices & Standards

3


Why Do We Do This?

• Distributed Computing Systems are –

well – distributed

• Geographically distributed

• Resources

• Administrative Organizations

• Users

• Enabling the integration and use of

such resources on the behalf of all

stakeholders requires a venue like OGF

OGF-EUROPE:

Making an impact

• Promoting the value of standardisation to enable

innovation

• Industry Expert Group

• Connecting user groups to share best practices &

transform them into standards

• Community Outreach Seminars

• Supporting the development and implementation

of European standards with end-users,

developers, diverse groups

• International Events

• Ensuring OGF standards are aligned with the

needs of European stakeholders

11


Method of Operations

• Working groups• Chartered to define a standard through one or more

documents according to a schedule with milestones

• Research groups• Chartered to investigate any interesting topic by running

workshops and writing documents (except standards)

• Community groups• Chartered to build community by identifying requirements,

common practices, running workshops, and writingdocuments (except standards)

• Three meetings a year• Plenaries

• Workshops

• Group sessions

• Birds-of-a-Feather meetings (BoFs)

• Co-location with other relevant organizations

Vast Array of ApplicationScenarios Driving Evolution

Data Center Migration


Strategy to Achieve this Vision

• Strategy

• Proactively lead the development of newdistributed computing technologies relevantto our stakeholders

• Engage with all relevant organizations anduser groups working on the same goals

• Current OGF Strategic Activities

• Grids and Clouds

• Cyberinfrastructure Requirements

• Production Grid Interoperability

• Geospatial Application Domains


OGF Cloud Leadership

• OCCI is a major effort that could gain traction in the cloud arena• Important group members and very active mailing list

• Pushing for cloud coordination with industry and other SDOs• SATCCI Meeting, March 23, DC

• federalcloudcomputing.wik.is/index.php?title=March_23%2C_2009

• SCRM telecons• IBM, Cisco, Sun, Fujitsu, OCC, NIST attended last call• Organizations to post cloud activity summaries on SRCM wiki

• Cloud Standards Summit, July 13, DC• federalcloudcomputing.wik.is/July_15%2c_2009• Originally scheduled for July 15 but moved to accommodate the following

• Cloud Computing Symposium, July 15, DC• Hosted by National Defense University, www.ndu.edu/irmc/ilss/ilss_events.html• Vivek Kundra (US Federal CIO) to keynote• Cloud Standards Summit trying to get an outbrief slot

• CloudWorld• Co-located w/ NGDC and OpenSource World, August 12-13, San Francisco• OGF personnel on CloudWorld Program and Advisory Committees• Chris Smith (OGF VP Standards) to present on behalf of OGF Enterprise

• OGF-27 Workshops (proposed): “Grid to Cloud” and “HPC in Cloud”

• Goals:• Identify concrete coordination activities before July 13 meeting• Increase cloud work -- and membership -- in OGF


CyberInfrastructure Requirements

• Series of three workshops to provide input to both

• EGEE to EGI transition, and

• TeraGrid to XD transition

• Primary focus: community requirements for interoperability

• First workshop (OGF-26) concentrated on the methods

used in previous requirements gathering exercises:

• UK e-Science, UK NGS, TeraGrid and Globus

• OGF informational document will be produced on this session

describing the benefits and disadvantages of different methods of

information capture

• Subsequent workshops at Banff (OGF-27) and Munich

(OGF-28) to analyze requirements data and make

concrete recommendations


Production Grids

• Production Grid Infrastructures WG formed to nail-down

interoperability standards

• Follow-on to Grid Interoperation Now (GIN) Community Group

• Includes EGEE, OSG, NAREGI, NorduGrid, TeraGrid, NGS

• Ambitious charter including (but not exhaustively):

• Production Grid Infrastructure Roadmap Document (GFD-I)

• Airport Disaster Response and Debris Flow scenarios

• Engineering Report in final preparation -- public release soon

• OGC wants to plan even more collaboration in OWS-7• Potential increased use of JSDL, HPC-BP and WSRF

• Geospatial community represents a huge potential adoption base• G-OWS ad hoc WG to implement all key OGC standards on gLite

• EGU Earth and Space Science Informatics soliciting OGF participation

• Key OGC standards have serious commercial adoption

• OGC has ~360 organizational members

• OGC-OGF Strategy Session, Tuesday, May 26• George Percivall, OGC Chief Architect, key participant

• Goals:• Identify joint OGC-OGF technical goals -- for OWS-7 and longer term

• Update MOU with new, technical goals

• Bidirectional community engagement: increased OGF membershipincreased OGF membership
