Remember
• To be authorized to use EGEE and do useful work with it (e.g. submit jobs, transfer files, collaborate) you have to belong to a Virtual Organization (VO)
• To join a VO you must first obtain a Grid certificate
• After the course:– You can get a certificate from GILDA CA and join GILDA VO:
to gain more experience with EGEE technology (process takes ~2 days)
– You can get a certificate from an EGEE CA and join a production VO: to participate in national or international collaborations ~ one week
– You can propose and establish a new VO ~ few months of coordinated effort across sites
