pOCCI testing
by Jean Parpaillon 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hi all, I've tested erocci against pOCCI. First, thanks for pOCCI ! I am trying to find contributors and/or personal time for improving this test suite. I've already filled some tickets on github and proposed a pr: https://github.com/CESNET/pOCCI/issues Many of these tickets are about interpretation of the text rendering and/or HTTP protocol. May you have a look and tell me if we intend to update specifications or not ?

OCCI wg organization
by Jean Parpaillon 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

Hi, During last months, we have seen few activity on the OCCI-wg mailist and the release of 1.2 specifications has been postponed many times. To be honest, the OCCI-wg behaves like either it would be a mature standard (no evolution needed), either a deprecated one. (Un)fortunately it is not the case as there many activity around it, needed and wanted. I suppose that a first step to arrange this situation would be to have someone in the group officially responsible for leading the discussions, establishing deadlines, and so on. May we agree on defining a new organization of the OCCI-wg which reflect the really activity of its members ? Best Regards, -- Jean Parpaillon -- Open Source Consultant OW2 Technology Council Chairman Director @ OW2 Consortium OCCIware Strategic Orientation Committee Chairman Research Engineer @ Inria -- Phone: +33 6 30 10 92 86 im: jean.parpaillon(a)gmail.com skype: jean.parpaillon linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanparpaillon/en

Slides and demo script
by Augusto Ciuffoletti 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Hi all, here attached are the slides presented during the OGF session at EGI. You also find the script to run the demo (docker required). As announced during the talk, I plan to submit a *special session about OCCI* during the CLOSER conference (http://closer.scitevents.org/) I'd like to receive a statement of interest from the prospective authors, so that I understand that there is some some reason to prepare a proposal. Deadline is nov. 11th, one week from today. -- Augusto Ciuffoletti Dipartimento di Informatica Università di Pisa 56100 - Pisa (Italy)

Deprecate text/occi rendering ?
by Jean Parpaillon 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Hi all, When discussing on new 1.2 specifications, it appears that text rendering (text/plain, but overall text/occi) should lead to restrictions in the specifications evolutions. I suggest that, in 1.2, we warn users these renderings _will_ be deprecated in any next version of the specification. Can we agree on that ? Regards, -- Jean Parpaillon -- Open Source Consultant OW2 Technology Council Chairman Director @ OW2 Consortium OCCIware Strategic Orientation Committee Chairman Research Engineer @ Inria -- Phone: +33 6 30 10 92 86 im: jean.parpaillon(a)gmail.com skype: jean.parpaillon linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanparpaillon/en

Re: [occi-wg] [gfsg] [All-sso] EGI Community Forum 2015. Deadline for abstracts is approaching: 12 July
by Sill, Alan 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

Hi Jens, This sounds good to me. Wolfgang Ziegler and I talked briefly about upcoming opportunities and think that the EGI event makes more sense for OGF to pursue than either the CAC (Boston September 2015) or UCC (Cyprus Dec. 2015) conferences at this time, although OGF does co-sponsor the AMGCC’15 workshop. Perhaps we can advertise these other events as opportunities at which interested OGF groups might meet, and encourage a larger gathering at the the EGI event. It would be good, however, this time to make sure that the OGF plenary talks and other portions of the program are better integrated into the main EGI program than they were last time. By the way, the update that I delivered on OGF progress at the NIST event this week (their cloud computing forum and workshop VIII) was very well received, and I got many positive comments from people about OGF’s approach and progress. Perhaps we can put together a short list of upcoming OGF group meeting opportunities to be posted on the web site and on the OGF calendar there? Response from the OCCI WG about meeting in Bari in November for the EGI forum would be useful, to be able to plan ahead of time.

URI Templates specification, examples and tests now available on GitHub
by Sill, Alan 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Dear OCCI-WG, I hope things are going well with review of the OCCI v1.2 documents and advancement of these, now that the public comment period has been completed, to the Editor. I noticed today that the URI Templates specification completed a few months ago has now been made available on GitHub, along with collections of links to available implementations and tests: https://github.com/uri-templates/uritemplate-spec The spec itself is of course http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570 If you are thinking of implementing URIs using OCCI that make reference to this spec and need testing for their template unpacking tools, you may want to look also at the tests available at https://github.com/uri-templates/uritemplate-test I don’t see that URI templates are required, but it seems to be increasingly accepted as good practice to make this a feature of cloud RESTful API design. See for example http://whatisrest.com/rest_service_contracts/uri_templates_and_resource_que… and some putative cloud API design guidelines that have made it onto the Fedora and OpenStack API reference pages for example at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_APIs_REST_Style_Guide and https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/APIStyleGuide respectively (feel free to visit those and contribute updates if you are members of those communities). Thoughts are welcome, and progress on the docs and updates even more welcome! Alan
