Petition to save National Collaboratories

Carl Kesselman, along with other leading lights and with a little hosting help from Tabor Communications, has launched a petition to try to convince Congress to save the DOE’s National Collaboratories program. Funding from this program has been instrumental in the development of a string of grid computing successes, including GridFTP, the Access Grid, and many Globus-related tools, according to Kesselman.

    It will be interesting to see how many signatures this petition garners. The community that builds these grid computing tools is relatively small. but the communities impacted by their work is much, much larger. Tabor Communications is certainly behind this effort full-force. They are giving a complimentary one-year subscription to Grid Today to anyone who signs the petition.
