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!

Sessions at OGF 34
by florian.feldhaus＠tu-dortmund.de 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

OGF 34 is approaching and I finally found the time to request a BoF session to start a new Cloud Interoperability group. I would like to invite all of you and everyone you know who might be interested to join the session and help start the CI-WG. Besides that, I would be glad to help organize some OCCI sessions at OGF 34. Who will be able to attend? What could be the topics for the sessions? The summary for the CI-WG session is: Interoperability in Cloud Computing is of increasing importance. Several cloud standards have emerged in recent years and implementations for them are starting to show up. Customers and providers interested in using the standards are requiring best-practise documents for using or implementing the different standards and also rely on information how they can combine multiple standards. This BoF session will present current challenges in Cloud Interoperability and aims at collecting ideas, approaches and experience in this area as starting point for a new Cloud Interoperability Working Group. This group shall also serve as a forum for engagement with other standards organizations and exploration of interoperability of OGF cloud standards work, and of software based on that work, with standards and software from other organizations. The agenda for the CI-WG session is: * Introduction to cloud standardization * Overview of current challenges in cloud interoperability * Collecting ideas, approaches and experience in this area as starting point for a new Cloud Interoperability Working Group. * Survey of existing plug-fests and other interoperability points of contact * Collaboration with other organizations Cheers, Florian

Submitter's message Hi All, I was planning to have this call as scheduled, but discovered that most folks have conflicts with meetings at the SNIA Winter Symposium this week. We'll have our call next week as scheduled. In the mean time, please review the preliminary plugfest agenda, which has been posted on the SNIA Cloud website - http://www.snia.org/cloud/cloudplugfest (scroll to bottom). There are 7 thirty-minute presentations slots to fill on a first-come-first served basis. Let me know if you are interested in a particular slot for a presentation.

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

by medhioub 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Hi, I am happy to announce the first release of pyOCNI https://github.com/jordan-developer/PyOCNI pyOCNI is a python implementation of an extended OCCI with a JSON serialization and a cloud networking extension. I will attend the next plugfest meeting, where we can have a detailed discussion about pyOCNI. pyOCNI is developed conjointly for SAIL Project ( www.sail-project.eu/ <http://www.sail-project.eu/> ) and CompatibleOne Project ( www.compatibleone.org <http://compatibleone.org/> ) P.S. Of course, it still an ongoing work.
