Among 3 days, GISELA (Grid Initiatives for e-Science virtual communities in Europe and Latin America) members were joined in Itaracuça, Brazil to think the new actions face to Latin America community needs and perspectives. The board of 15 representatives and managers of different GISELA work package and CLARA (Latin America Cooperation of Advanced Networks) transition teams, coordinated by Bernard Marechal, was discussed about actions and strategies to develop and evolve Grid computing infrastructure and support the research communities in accordance with specific and general needs.
The action plan proposed for the board, implies different activities and strategies to ensure good dissemination of Grid Computing possibilities, custom user (and communities) support and the develop of infrastructure and oriented-services portfolio to scientists and academic communities.

Dear Colleauges,
Just wanted to bring the following event to your attention: Brasil@Home from 2-7 May in Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. This is about public participation in e-science, and despite the name, we would love to see participants from all of Latin America join.
More information coming soon at http://www.citizencyberscience.net/brasilathome/CCC-brasilathome-PR-en.htm
