Hello Everybody! As this is the first our communication in a new year, I would like to wish you success in your research and development and also new projects and new challenges! We are going to request a session for ISOD meeting should it be BoF or RG meeting. The fact that OGF31 will be collocated with the International Symposium on Grids and Clouds organised by Academia Sinica, Taiwan, will attract a number of visitors from the region, and we should not miss this opportunity to present our developments and possibly find cooperative links. I also invite suggestions on the specific topics to discuss and presentation on on-going works and projects dealing with on-demand infrastructure services provisioning. Just FYI, I know that special session on Cloud Security has been requested at OGF31 where we may also need to present our work on ISOD. In the course of preparation to the meeting I would like to ask all members of the ISOD mailing list to post progress information on the involved and related projects. Regards, Yuri
