Overview

Who We Are
The Open Grid Forum (OGF) is a community of users, developers, and 
vendors leading the global standardization effort for grid computing. 
The OGF community consists of thousands of individuals in industry and 
research, representing over 400 organizations in more than 50 countries. 
Together we work to accelerate adoption of grid computing worldwide 
because we believe grids will lead to new discoveries, new 
opportunities, and better business practices.

The work of OGF is carried out though community-initiated working 
groups, which develop standards and specifications in cooperation with 
other leading standards organizations, software vendors, and users. OGF 
is funded through its Organizational Members, including technology 
companies and academic and government research institutions. OGF hosts 
several events each year to further develop grid-related specifications 
and use cases and to share best practices.

The OGF Mission
The Open Grid Forum accelerates grid adoption to enable business value 
and scientific discovery by providing an open forum for grid innovation 
and developing open standards for grid software interoperability.

A Brief History
The Open Grid Forum (OGF) is the "new" organization that resulted from 
the merger of the Global Grid Forum (GGF) and the Enterprise Grid 
Alliance (EGA).

The GGF grew out of a series of conversations, workshops, and Birds of a 
Feather (BoF) sessions that addressed issues related to grid computing. 
The first of these BoFs was held at SC98, the annual conference of the 
high-performance computing community. That meeting led to the creation 
of the Grid Forum, a group of grid developers and users in the U.S 
dedicated to defining and promoting grid standards and best practices. 
By the end of 2000, Grid Forum had merged with the European Grid Forum 
(eGrid) and the Asia-Pacific Grid Forum to form the Global Grid Forum. 
The first Global Grid Forum meeting was held in March 2001. Since then, 
the GGF has produced numerous standards and specifications documents and 
held successful events around the world.

The EGA was formed in 2004 to focus exclusively on accelerating grid 
adoption in enterprise data centers. The EGA addressed obstacles that 
organizations face in using enterprise grids through open, interoperable 
solutions and best practices. The alliance published the EGA Reference 
Model and Use Cases, a Security Requirements document and Data and 
Storage Provisioning document. The EGA also significantly raised 
awareness worldwide of enterprise grid requirements through highly 
effective marketing programs and regional operations in Europe and Asia.
