NGS Technical Director Appointed to OGF Board

We are pleased to announce that Dr David Wallom, NGS Technical Director and Technical Manager of the Oxford e-Research Centre (OeRC) at the University of Oxford, has recently taken over from Geoffrey Fox as VP of e-Research at the Open Grid Forum. Davids responsibilities include co-ordinating and steering the interactions of the research communities and their participation in OGF with the other functions, including Enterprise and Standards.

David will still be continuing in his current roles with the NGS and OeRC and we hope this will lead to greater collaboration between the NGS and OGF.
