| | Globus Alliance established as international consortium to advance Globus Grid software |
 | | Like the original Globus Project, the Globus Alliance is a tightly integrated consortium dedicated to collaborative design, development, testing, and support of the open source Globus Toolkit, the de facto standard Grid software. |
 | | In addition, a new Academic Affiliates programme with participation from Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the U.S. recognises major contributions to the Globus Toolkit by key members of the academic and research communities, which gain a formal voice in Globus Alliance governance with the creation of a new advisory council. |
 | | "The Globus Alliance builds on the world wide success of the Globus project and provides improved opportunities for regional and local influence on requirements and solutions for common Grid software components", stated Lennart Johnsson, director of PDC and Professor of Numerical Analysis and Computer Science at the Royal Institute of Technology. |
