It is my pleasure to announce the first release of myVocs box, an integrated collaboration platform. myVocs box is a virtual machine that delivers the technologies that drive myVocs.org wrapped up in a
self-contained system that's ready for you to enjoy.

Please visit http://myvocs-box.myvocs.org for details on the three simple steps to download, run, and enjoy a collaboration platform of your own.

The technologies in this release of myVocs box include:

* A complete Shibboleth 1.3 identity system (IdP and SP)
* Simple collaboration group setup and management via Sympa
* Flexible resource integration powered by YubNub

The Internet2 2006 Fall Member Meeting was held in Chicago, Illinois from Monday December 4th through Thursday December 7th. I attended the meeting to participate in a SURAgrid presentation and demonstration of applications running on SURAgrid, including the UABgrid BLAST application which leverages DynamicBLAST to distribute gene sequence queries across grid resources. I also participated in a meeting to discuss next steps for the continuing myVocs and GridShib integration efforts and project updates.

SURAgrid is a collaborative effort to build a production grid computing environment leveraging existing infrastructure and applications.

As of this week, gridsphere V 2.1.4 and gridportlets are running. Tomcat version is 5.0.X. Apache version is 2.2.2
