Grid Users and Grid Providers meet each other at the Grid Plaza. In the Grid Plaza they discover each other Grid resource capabilities and requirements, and get in touch to request access to each other resources.
The Grid Plaza project is creating a social networking tool to facilitate new connections among Grid resource providers and users. Grid providers and users publish its resources requirements and capabilities and their current users. Next they can explore their Grid network looking for other providers or users.
