It's always great to meet up with colleagues from all over Europe and I'm also meeting a lot of new people from EGEE III. I'm involved in the NA2 workpackage in the project which looks after dissemination, communication and events - basically the same as I do for the UK National Grid Service (NGS) back home. This is the first chance to meet the people I've been talking to on the phone for the last 4 months in person!
Our NGS case study leaflets seem to have been particularly popular. These are leaflets which highlight research carried out using NGS resources and they range from the social sciences (geodemographic modelling) to the physical sciences and even the visualisation of blood flow through the brain. It's always good to show grid computing in action as it reminds you what all the development is actually for - a tool for researchers to use.
We've donated part of our stand to the GridTalk team - the people responsible for this blog so it's been great fun having Cristy Burns on our stand. Her enthusiasm is endless!
I have actually been to some sessions as well - I've just came out of the bioinformatics session which, as a former biologist, I found particularly interesting. It's great to see the technology actually being used by the community.
Apparently tomorrow I am being "podded" as I call it. Yes I'm being filmed fo

Right time for tea and some more of the "interesting" Turkish delicacies - you never quite know until you try if it's going to be savoury or sweet!

Nice podding today! I look forward to seeing it online :-)
Anyone interested in being podded should get in touch with Corentin Chevalier, our Cameraman-Reporter extraordinaire!
