How to participate in EGEE

EGEE welcomes new participants - either as an application user or as a contributing computing resource (site) .

Applications and Users

The "Application Identification and Support (NA4)" activity within EGEE helps users of all levels to port and run their applications on the EGEE infrastructure.  New applications communities are invited to make contact with the NA4 group as a first step.

Individuals who are members of recognised Virtual Organisations (application communities), can get started as a grid user by following the instructions in the gLite User Guide which takes the user through the necessary steps for authentication, registration, authorisation and job submission. In case of infrastructure and operational issues users are invited to contact the Global Grid User Support (GGUS) .

For advise on deploying a new application on the grid, contact the Application Porting support service.

Resource Centres

Sites wishing to join the EGEE grid infrastructure are also very welcome.  This process is coordinated within each Regional Federation by the Regional Operations Centre (ROC) in that region.  Sites willing to join are invited to consult the document explaining how to be associated to a ROC. Afterwards, they should contact their local ROC and apply to join. In general, all ROCs are expected to make sites aware of some minimum requirements expected of a site, and some operational policies that must be agreed to.
