__New GPO Documents__:: '''GENI Spiral 2 Overview''': This document provides an overview of GENI Spiral 2. It describes this spiral’s developmental goals and summarizes the active projects. GENI Spiral 2 runs from October 2009 through September 2010. It is the second phase of exploratory rapid-prototyping that will begin to inform technical and operational plans for the envisioned GENI suite of research infrastructure. Spiral 2's primary goal is to begin moving towards continuous experimentation.

The plans described in this document are Spiral 2 activities in preparation for this growth by Spiral 3. (Draft Recommendation) [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/SpiralTwoSecurityPlans/GENI-Spiral2-SecurityPlan.pdf pdf] (3/15/10) '''GENI Recommended Use Policy''': Common guidelines for using the suite of GENI infrastructures to the GENI community. GENI participants should be willing to follow the guidelines, and to support GENI community efforts to implement this policy. (Adopted Recommendation) [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/RUP/RUP.pdf pdf] (3/10/10) '''GENI Instrumentation and Measurement Architecture''': This document defines the architecture for the GENI instrumentation and measurement subsystem. It is an early DRAFT, to be used for discussion in the GENI Instrumentation and Measurement working group, starting at the GEC7 meeting. (Draft Recommendation) [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GeniInstrumentationandMeasurementsArchitecture/030810%20%20GENI-SE-IM-ARCH-0.1.pdf pdf] (3/8/10) __GENI Spiral 2__:: GENI Spiral 2 has kicked off with Design and Prototyping projects focusing on increased integration, interoperability, identity management, and instrumentation & measurement. In addition, Meso-Scale Prototyping projects are deploying promising technologies in 8-12 locations. Project pages are listed at wiki:SpiralTwo. __GEC7 Demonstration Results__:: Videos, posters, presentations and some photos from the GEC7 demo session are now available on the [wiki:GEC7DemoSummary GEC7 demo summary] page. __Project Feature__:: The [wiki:MillionNodeGENI Million-Node GENI] project and PIs Thomas Anderson and Justin Cappos from University of Washington, Seattle, are featured on the [http://www.geni.net www.geni.net] homepage.

The first solicitation was issued on December 17, 2007. Large proposals were due February 15, 2008. More information can be found at the [http://www.geni.net/GS01/GS01.html GENI Project Office site]. __IPR Policy__:: The GENI Project Office Intellectual Property rules for technologies developed for GENI may be found [http://www.geni.net/office/office_IP.html here]. __GEC!#2__:: The second GENI Engineering Conference was held on March 3-4, 2008 at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Virginia. There was also a special newcomer's session on Sunday March 2 at 6pm. The meeting agenda and presentations can be found http://www.geni.net/GEC2/GEC2.html. __Open Positions__:: The GPO has immediate openings for 2 system engineers with expertise in distributed systems, and network management, integration, operations, and security. GPO system engineers play a key role in GENI development -- synthesizing a comprehensive design from working group contributions, defining subsystem requirements, assessing technical risk, evaluating candidate technologies, and overseeing prototyping efforts. Further, they will each have a leadership role in GENI working groups conveying GPO priorities and collecting technical guidance from the community. Candidates with exceptional technical and communication skills are invited to apply. Details can be found at http://www.geni.net/job.html.
