Dasein Cloud
by Thijs Metsch 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

Hi, Just to inform you that there is a cool project going on called Dasein-Cloud. http://dasein-cloud.sourceforge.net/ On the website it reads: Dasein Cloud is an Open Source Java API made available by enStratus Networks LLC under the terms of the Apache License 2.0. This API specifies cloud-independent interfaces for enabling an application to access resources across multiple clouds. If you are interested have a look - and it might be great to implement OCCI in their someday!

Preliminary JSON rendering draft, discussion material
by Ralf Nyren 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hi all, I won't be able to attend OGF in Lyon, too bad but that's how it is. Since I wouldn't want you to think I am sneaking away from all the hard work I put together a pre-pre-draft of a possible JSON rendering. I have commit'ed a json_rendering.tex file to the occi-wg repository and have attached the generated PDF. Please look at this document as a basis for further discussions. It is very far from being complete and lots of things could certainly be more elegant. Highlights are: - Filtering through query parameters. I.e. no need to use the X-OCCI-Attribute to transfer filtering info in GET requests. - Pagination of collections. - Attribute type information (e.g. float, integer, string, etc) relayed through the Category definition. I will try and join in remotely tomorrow. Best regards, Ralf

Validating the Cloud on, well, the Cloud
by alexander.papaspyrou＠tu-dortmund.de 14 Oct '11

Folks, in a moment of boredom, I rewrote Thijs' OCCI testing tool to run in Google App Engine (GAE). Please take a look at http://doyouspeakocci.appspot.com for the application (and, of course, try your service) and see https://github.com/lxndrp/doyouspeakocci/ for the source code of the application. The code is largely undocumented, but not very difficult to understand, if you are (like me) a fairly bad Python programmer and ever heard of Django Templates. If you find anything that you wish to improve, feel free to do so. A few rules of thumb for this: 1. Although the code is released under LGPL2, I consider it "AdviseWare": when making an improvement, let me know where I was too stupid to get it right in the first place. 2. Remember that GAE has certain restrictions in what can be done and how you can do it. See http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/appengine/docs/ for details. 3. Before making a change, create a ticket in the GitHub tracker. 4. During making a change, remember to add some documentation (for new classes and defs) or at least comments (close to your change). 5. After making a change, enjoy the fuzzy feeling of having contributed to the community. Even if you are not a Python developer, you can help out: the pages served by the application look, ahem, bad. So if you happen to be an HTML/CSS expert, your help is more than appreciated. Ultimately, the testing tool should look similar to the web pages at http://occi-wg.org (ask Andy whether you can feel free to steal stuff from there for the GAE app!). Hoping you will enjoy the tool, my mind demands some rest now and advises me to be off for a few beers. Best, Alexander

OCCI hosting - server available.
by Michael Behrens 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

FYI: We can host additional OCCI test instances at the SNIA Labs if someone want to use that as a server (in a VM). I can host an OCCI test server on r2ad.net if that would be helpful. It's a CentOS platform. Thanks. - Michael B.

OCCI Test Procedures
by Jamie Marshall 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Dear All, I met with Florian Feldhaus yesterday at the Open World Forum and we discussed the existance of an OCCI implementation test suite. Is there any one that could point me in the right direction to find this so that I may validate an important piece of work that has been done using OCCI at its heart. Yours Sincerely Iain James Marshall CompatibleOne Accords Lead Expertise Manager Prologue

OCCI over Hyper-V based clouds
by Daniel Molina 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi all, I would like to let you know the announcement regarding the collaboration between OpenNebula and Microsoft. Thanks to this collaboration Hyper-V will be included in the list of OpenNebula supported hypervisors. Therefore we will be able to easily use OCCI over Hyper-V based clouds. For more information: http://t.co/DXBZHYpn http://blog.opennebula.org/?p=1991 Cheers. -- Daniel Molina, Cloud Technology Engineer/Researcher Major Contributor OpenNebula - The Open Source Toolkit for Cloud Computing www.OpenNebula.org | dmolina(a)opennebula.org

Jamie, please note that this is a very early version. The protocol details will most likely change before it is all done. Just so you know.

FW: Conference on International Government Clouds in March in Reston, Virginia
by Edmonds, AndrewX 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

FYI From: cc_standards(a)nist.gov [mailto:cc_standards@nist.gov] On Behalf Of Bob Marcus Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2011 5:00 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: FYI: Conference on International Government Clouds in March in Reston, Virginia On October 12, there is going to be a Government Cloud Executives Session at the International Cloud Symposium <http://events.oasis-open.org/home/cloud/2011> outside London. (See the speaker list below.) The Symposium also includes two International Standards Roadmapping Sessions <http://events.oasis-open.org/home/cloud/2011/agenda#wednesday> featuring European, UK, and American leaders (e.g. NIST). In March, a follow-on Conference with a similar level of international Cloud executive participants will be held in Reston, Virginia hosted by the Cloud Standards Customer Council <http://www.cloud-council.org/Cloud-Council_Core_Document.pdf> . Several of the October speakers have already signed up to participate. The date will be March 20 or 21. Some of the topics are listed below. Any feedback on possible topics would be valuable. - Federated Trust (Federated Identity, Authentication, Authorization, Policy, Regulatory, Monitoring) - Data Transfers (Categorizing Data, Regulatory Constraints, Policy, Security, Interface and Format Standards) - Shared Resources (Global Public Utilities, Service Catalogs, Resource Descriptions, Access Mechanisms) There is now a window of opportunity to establish international government collaboration on Cloud data and resource interoperability. In a few years, the national Cloud infrastructures and frameworks will be more complex and it will be difficult to retrofit Cloud collaboration across international boundaries.
