OGF is an open global community committed to driving the rapid evolution and adoption of modern advanced applied distributed computing, including cloud, grid and associated storage, networking and workflow methods. OGF is focused on developing and promoting innovative scalable techniques, applications and infrastructures to improve productivity in the enterprise and within the international research, science and business communities.
OGF accomplishes its work through open forums, interactions and events that build the community, explore trends, share optimal approaches, document findings and consolidate these results where appropriate into standards. The output products that result from this process document and codify best practices and standards that provide the basis for some of the largest and most powerful operational computing infrastructure systems in the world.
OGF is Open! OGF adheres to and endorses the OpenStand principles for open standards development and is a signatory to the joint statement of affirmation of these principles.
In partnership with other HPC and academic distributed computing organizations, the Open Grid Forum has launched a new community-based open project called “hpc.social“ that includes a Mastodon instance available to the community and will support an associated web site of projects at https://hpc.social to accomplish similar goals. The new Mastodon instance is available at at https://mast.hpc.social and is currently open for signups. Signup requests are subject to the terms of service and privacy policy stated by the service.
Please contact the organizers using the links on the hpc.social main site for additional information.
The OGF website has a new home and has been updated. The process for new or updated documents is now based on Github, rather than Redmine. Email lists also have a new home, including all list archives. Meanwhile, some of the older content is now moved to an archival site snapshot.
Check out the many OGF Published Documents, learn more about how OGF goes about Delivering Value to the community and about optional but valuable Membership in the Open Grid Forum, and Contact OGF to find out more on any question or topic.
