• providing an understanding of how to use the distributed infrastructure;
• adapting applications to run effectively on OSG sites;
• engaging in the deployment of community owned distributed infrastructures;
• working with the OSG Facility to ensure the needs of the new community are met;
• providing common tools and services in support of the engagement communities;
