GCE11 Workshop Paper Submission Deadline Extension

Papers for the GCE11 workshop at Supercomputing 2011 can be submitted through October 3rd, 2011. See http://www.collab-ogce.org/gce11 for more details. 

OGCE Workflow Tools Now in Apache Airavata

The OGCE's tools for managing scientific applications and workflows on grids and clouds are now the Apache Airavata incubator project.  Community contributions are welcome, and you can become part of the project.  We are now following the Apache Software Foundation model for building open source communities.  

GCE11 Workshop

The Gateway Computing Environments 2011 workshop will be at Supercomputing 2011.  Submissions are open and welcome.  See http://www.collab-ogce.org/gce11/index.php/Main_Page  for more information.

Positions available

The OGCE team at Indiana University has positions available.  See https://jobs.iu.edu/joblisting/index.cfm?jlnum=4193&search=2 for more information.  If you are interested, please apply through Jobs@IU.  If you would like more information, contact Marlon: marpierc [at] indiana edu.

OGCE Gadget Container GridShib Support

The OGCE gadget container now includes GridShib support as part of the default build.  We use GridShib to decorate TeraGrid community security credentials with logging attributes: the authentication instant, the user's email address, the user's browser's IP address, and the user's gadget container user name.  All installation and configuration steps are handled by the OGCE build process: "mvn clean install" handles the jar deployments and resource configuration files.  Decorated credentials can be used or exported to other services.

GridShib is optional, and gadget container deployments not using it will work as normal.

OGCE Gadget Container Part of Apache Rave Incubator

The OGCE Gadget Container is being contributed to the Apache Rave incubator project. The ultimate goal is to produce high quality software for running production Open Social containers.  See http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/RaveProposal for more information.  We will continue to develop the OGCE gadget container in the interim until Rave is ready to release.  We will also extend the Rave core to accommodate the requirements of Science Gateways.
