Meeting Themes
This meeting of TF-MSP will focus on the Cloud Service in the Research and Education Community.
There has been much discussion on the adoption of cloud services such as storage, applications and compute power. Some departments or institutions obtain some of these services direct from commercial providers. Some countries have advanced plans to build or procure services on a national basis.
Recently the topic of a "Community Cloud", built and operated by the community for the community has been a hot topic, receiving support from several quarters. This TF-MSP meeting will focus on some of the issues.
