The Open Science Grid is a distributed computing infrastructure for large-scale scientific research. The OSG Consortium's unique alliance of universities, national laboratories, scientific collaborations and software developers brings petascale computing and storage resources into a uniform shared cyberinfrastructure. Members of the OSG Consortium contribute effort and resources to the OSG infrastructure and reap the benefits of a shared infrastructure that integrates computing and storage resources from more than 50 sites in the United States, Asia and South America. OSG also has partners, including campus, regional, national and international grids.The OSG is supported by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science.


The OSG Council is the governing body of the Consortium and provides the scientific coordination and oversight of OSG activities. The meeting on August 17, 2007 is to review the accomplishments of the first year of the OSG Project and signoff on the deliverables and schedule for the second year.


Going to be an exciting day.
