The project name is Open Grid Scheduler. And originally our only focus was the official opensource fork of Grid Engine, and thus the software is also named Open Grid Scheduler.
However, we found that we needed to expand to other areas, and thus late last year we started to call the version of Grid Engine released by us "Open Grid Scheduler/Grid Engine" (I know it is a bit long - much like GNU/Linux to emphasis that Linux is "part of" the GNU project). We are working with other projects that use Open Grid Scheduler/Grid Engine as the core. To be relevant in the Cloud Computing world, we work with open source projects that provisions Open Grid Scheduler/Grid Engine clusters on Amazon EC2. We are also beta users of the HP Cloud. Further, we are working with companies that offer proprietary version of the tools (so stay tuned!). We hope to get some of the technologies into Open Grid Scheduler. We will push this "Open Grid Scheduler/Grid Engine" name to the downstream projects - in Grid Engine 2011.11, we only use the old BSD license for 1 feature (the CUDA load sensor). We plan to license more of our code under the old BSD license so that people know what features in Grid Engine are developed by the Open Grid Scheduler Project! And to others: don't worry, we will add an exemption such that if you are not pulling code out from Open Grid Scheduler/Grid Engine, and put it in another project (ie. if you use Open Grid Scheduler/Grid Engine as a whole), then you don't need to attribute us at all!!
