Grid.org

Grid.org is an open source community where cluster and grid users, developers, and administrators come to connect and communicate, exchange information and ideas, and participate in development projects.  Grid.org is home to the UniCluster project as well as other open source projects and communities.

Our Mission

The Grid.org mission is to provide an all-inclusive destination for people with similar cluster and grid interests.  We offer a single location that aggregates all relevant information about open source cluster and grid technologies, projects, users, uses, documents, stories, questions and answers, and more. 

In short, Grid.org’s mission is to make life easier for users of UniCluster express and other open source HPC technologies.

One-Stop Shop

Many related communities exist for individual cluster tools -- at Grid.org, we aggregate this information into a location where community members can learn from users of other types of software in the stack.

For example, a cluster user familiar with Grid Engine may be interested in connecting with another user who is familiar with Globus. Or a UniCluster administrator may be in search of information about a particular end user application. At Grid.org, it's our vision to make that kind of connection possible, so that all professionals who work with clusters can benefit from each other's experience.

Why You Care

Grid.org’s developers, users, and sponsors strive to make this the kind of community that provides a unique experience for our visitors and members.  Here are just a few of the things that make Grid.org special:

> Member Autonomy: At Grid.org members have a high degree of freedom to create, publish, monitor, control, and own their content. 
> Organic Groups:  This site is a community of communities, where HPC users can form their own organic groups to more easily communicate with each other and get work done. 
> Knowledge Repository: Grid.org is a vast knowledge repository with transparent knowledge sharing and information flow; a great deal of control over content creation, monitoring and tracking; RSS feeds for all site content; and content ownership for all members.
> Transparent Support: Grid.org offers comprehensive, transparent community support for UniCluster and all its components.
