Peter asked of the relationship between myGrid and OMII.

This is currently being clarified. Grimoire is involved with OMII BPEL on workflow. In discussion. Security container framework. Victor Tan looking at this. Attending various security meetings in order to keep up to date on the issue.

It was noted we are generally more interested in producing stuff for our people. OMII would take up a lot of effort and time, lessening the amount of time spent on current research here. Also, until recently our users tended not to worry about security too much. However, with the formation of PsyGrid^? and other medical-based projects, we will now be requiring more security. Steer on this will be pursued and appreciated.
