Contributions and participation request for OCCI tutorial demo
by Sill, Alan 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hi folks, As you know, we have changed the agenda for tomorrow's OGF 31 schedule to accommodate an OCCI tutorial demo session to be led here in Taiwan by Alexander Papaspyrou. He could use; - Screenshots or screen-capture videos of usage walk-throughs - Instructions and login information for demoing any implementation you may have - Volunteers for remote presentation by video at 4-5:30 pm (16:00 - 17:30) Wednesday Taipei time. We can connect you most likely by video or audio give you remote connection coordinates. Skype connections are also possible. (My Skype id is alansill or Alexander can supply his.) - Links to any demos or simple online tutorials on your site. Any other ideas or suggestions you may have would be welcome. Thanks, Alan

OCCI ANTLR Grammar
by Edmonds, AndrewX 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

(In follow up to my previous mail). I've placed my OCCI ANTLR grammar up on github [1]. There is some brief documentation (presentation here [4] ) and examples on how to get working with the grammar. There are 2 grammars. The first is just the generic grammar with no target language ANTLR actions [2]. The second is the same grammar but with Java-specific target language ANTLR actions [3]. Those actions extract the values the parser encounters and assembles a data structure that can then be queried. This all happens after validation of the text request/response received. The grammar's lexer and parser can be used both in client and service code. For clients, the lexer/parser can be used to read the response from an OCCI server and also validate outbound requests to a service. For services, the lexer/parser can be used to validate the requests from clients, extract values (if using a target specific grammar) and then validate the responses sent back to the clients. Of course, the grammar's lexer/parser is ideal for use in your test suites especially for testing the serialization of your OCCI model to text. You shouldn't worry about deserialisation as that should be the job of the ANTLR grammar - with the relevant ANTLR actions. The grammar and associated code is released under the BSD license so please feel free to fork and use it. I know myself from experience that writing parsers is a PITA and why repeat (DRY!) when you can leverage not just our experience of specifying OCCI but also that of the ANTLR community in creating parser generators! Win! If anyone would like a walkthrough of this stuff, I can do so again at next week's OCCI confcall as I won't be able to participate at Taipei.

New generic OCCI library released
by Ralf Nyren 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hi, I have released my OCCI library now. It is available on PyPi and the project site is hosted at github: https://github.com/nyren/occi-py The library will give you a full featured OCCI implementation with a robust design. A simple server backend interface is provided for easy integration into your favorite application. Supplied with the package is a demo program which launches an OCCI server with a "dummy" in-memory backend. A Redis backend is in the works and will likely be available in a couple of weeks. I have made the demo available at the below URL so please have a go at it and let me know if you find any issues. http://www.nyren.net/api/ regards, Ralf

News from Cloudscape
by Sill, Alan 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

OCCI talk is now up on the Siena web site -> Cloudscape III link -> agenda page. Feedback has been good here; there is a lot of interest and essentially all projects I have seen presented have mentioned OCCI and are planning to update their implementations where necessary to come up to the latest spec versions. We are now looking forward to putting together a demo session in one of the two booked slots for OGF 31 next week. Talk to Thijs or Alexander for the details -- it looks like it is going to come together. Thanks for all the material and work that led to this. Alan

OCCI F2F meeting in Boulder, Colorado (USA)
by Thijs Metsch 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Hi @all, I'm pleased to announce that we are going to organize a F2F meeting for OCCI in the United States (in Boulder, Colorado). Thanks to Mark Carlson from Oracle who helped set this up - my feeling is that this is a follow up on the Cloud Plug Fest and all our collaboration efforts with other Standards and groups till now. Most likely we'll meet will happen during the DMTF Alliance Partner Technical Symposium (more details here: http://dmtf.org/news/events/2011apts/2011_schedule) on Monday and Tuesday. Please feel free to register and point out that your are going to be available. During this F2F we would like to address and discuss some topics (the agenda is not fixed yet and can change if needed): * Update on OCCI actvities * OCCI demos (Input welcome - maybe from the Cloud Plug Fest?) * CDMI/OCCI integration * OCCI/OVF integration * Initial JSOn rendering discussions * Collaboration withs NIST * Security related discussions. As greater outcome of this event we have planned to write a document which focuses on the intergration of major standards regarding clouds. In more detail on how standard's from DMTF/OGF/SNIA can work together to create a cloud service offering. I would like to invite all to bring in their ideas on this topic! Cheers, -Thijs
