Subject: [Hipcat-members] SURA Grid Apps workshop in Austin

Mary Fran has asked for our help in distributing the following 
information about the upcoming SURA Grid Applications workshop Dec. 6-8 
in Austin.

This should be of interest to a wide range of applications providers, 
and to those interested in making better use of the grid.  We also plan 
to have a TIGRE developers meeting, to be organized in Austin by the 
TACC folks most likely the following day, with details to follow for 
those involved in that community.

Please send comments, interest or questions!

Thanks,
Alan
