Re: GLIF Tech Winter 2011 meeting

[Erik-Jan Bos <erik-jan.bos@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear GLIF Tech participants:

The GLIF Secretariat, Gigi and myself did not hear any objections on our
proposal to take the GLIF Tech Winter 2011 meeting to Hong Kong, in the
week of APRICOT-APAN 2011, i.e. February 21-25, 2011. So, we've decided
on this now, and work with Jacqueline Brown and her team on the
generous offer the made to fit us in. So, please mark you calendars
already for the GLIF Tech Winter 2011 meeting colocated with
APRICOT-APAN 2011 in Hong Kong, China on February 21-25, 2011.

But now back to 2010: The GLIF Secretariat and your chairpersons are
working on the details of the agenda for the upcoming 10th Annual Global
LambdaGrid Workshop in Geneva, Switzerland on 13-14 October 2010. A
details agenda will be posted shortly.

I am looking forward to seeing you all in Geneva in October!!

Kind regards,
