Neither Shiraz or myself will be able to attend OGF 42 in September in London.
OGF is considering having meetings during or immediately after UCC 2014 December 8-11 in London.

We have discussed having the GLUE 2.1 abstract data model with cloud support ready for vote and release for public comment at that time. That would be a great time a public presentation of the new GLUE 2.1 cloud data model.
How many of you would be able to attend GLUE session in person at UCC 2014 December 8-12?
Thanks,
JP
Hey - I've updated the JSON schema and examples (https://github.com/OGF-GLUE/JSON) based on our last discussions. Please take a look and give it a try. There is enough detail in there that I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few mistakes.
The main change is that at least one direction of every association must be represented in a document conforming to the schema. If there is no association to represent, the attribute must still be present, but it will have null or an empty list as the value.
I think this was the last issue that has come up in our discussions. So, we'll be finalizing the associated rendering document in the next few weeks for review.
What I propose to do (which I think agrees with the discussions we had at OGF) is once we approve the schema and rendering document, I'll update the dates in the schema to match that approval date, and then we can upload the document and the schema to OGF for public comment.

GLUE Working Group:
We have been discussing two options for using the GLUE schema to describe cloud services. You may review these options here:
- http://redmine.ogf.org/dmsf_files/13294?download=
By August 1, please vote for one of the following options:
1) Use GLUE 2.0 with a Community Practice Profile that details how to describe cloud infrastructure using the existing 2.0 entities
2) Develop GLUE 2.1 adding new Cloud Computing entities (would be 100% backward compatible with GLUE 2.0 for non-Cloud entities)
For reference, a preliminary GLUE 2.1 Specification is available here:
