Conclusion

• The NA2 activity in EGEE-1 created a good base for future work

• While doing ordinary work on translation and distribution of EGEE informations, we have used first two month to prepare documentation section and materials to help future grid users and to post them at our web portal: www.grid.bas.bg

• Good luck to all of you!
