Description
The three institutes (BME, KFKI RMKI, SZTAKI), that are involved in Hungarian Grid User Support activities have put great effort in serving the Hungarian user community, especially through Hungrid, the Hungarian catch-all Virtual Organisation of EGI. An inverted process is present in Hungary, we do not have many VOs, we have mostly individual users, who feel the need of a more powerful infrastructure e.g. grid, but do not know how to get involved or they cannot join a field-specific VO. Thus Hungrid has twofold goal: serve as a catch-all VO for individual users, and to provide a sandbox (testing environment for prospective Hungarian VOs). In Hungary (NGI-HU) grid operation procedures and user support procedures are working under the umbrella of Hungrid VO.
