WELCOME! These GridCast podcasts and blogs give you a grassroots view of the hottest news at the cutting edge of scientific grids.

What is a GridCast? GridCasts take you behind the scenes of some of the most exciting grid computing events in the world. Share in the excitement as renowned speakers reveal the lastest in grid technologies and grid-powered scientific results; check out what happens at after dark at post-conference parties, where much of the real networking happens...

Rosy Simone Campana
Simone Campana is a physicist who betrayed his past and devoted himself to computing. Simone earned his PhD from the University of California-Riverside, moved to CERN for "Gridification" (and hibernation, given the average 20-degree-Celsius difference between California and Geneva). He currently supports the integration of the LHC high energy physics experiments with the LCG/EGEE middleware.
