Hi All,

We need to put together a talk for ApacheCon NA. We can have the usual =
drill, but frankly current Airavata community is less attended at =
ApacheCon. So a better impact for the project at ApacheCon will be to =
find alignment with other Apache Projects and encourage broader =
participation. Beyond Rave and OODT, any concrete ideas on how Airavata =
can draw value from or add value to fellow apache projects?

Suresh
