FutureGrid User Advisory Board Members

The first FutureGrid User Advisory Board (UAB) meeting was held Monday, August 2, 2010 at the TeraGrid 2010 Conference. The board is made up of professionals from national and international universities and institutes. The board discussed FutureGrid's architecture roadmap, its status, both current and future, and the overall vision for the project.

"This was a critical meeting for moving the project forward," said FutureGrid Director Geoffrey Fox. "We're proud of the amount of ground we were able to cover in this first meeting, it's set us on the right path to ensuring that FutureGrid is a success."
