[Bioclusters] Open Source Grid & Cluster Conference

[Chris Dagdigian]

This meeting may be of interest to people on this mailing list, if  
only because it includes ROCKS and will also host the first Grid  
Engine Workshop to occur in the USA.  The german SGE Workshop held  
late last year was excellent.
