OCCI Document Status
by Andre Merzky 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Dear OCCI group, please note that all 4 OCCI documents - Open Cloud Computing Interface - Core and Models - Open Cloud Computing Interface - HTTP Header Rendering - Open Cloud Computing Interface - Infrastructure Models - Open Cloud Computing Interface - XHTML5 rendering have now officially left the public comment period. The next step is for the group, and the document authors, to review the comments received, and to thus redact the documents. You can also decide *not* to follow some suggestion made in the comments, of course, but in that case, please provide a (short) justification, either on this list, with Cc to the comment author if he is not on the list, or in the comment trackers(*). There is no specific deadline associated with the groups reaction to public comment, but it is obviously in the groups best interest to keep turnaround times short. I want to remind you that major changes to the documents may imply another round of public comments. The group can either request that to happen, or GFSG can impose that to happen, depending on document changes and level of group consensus. In any case, please ensure that the finally committed documents represent 'rough consensus'. It would be very helpful for the next GFSG and OGF Editor review if any form of change tracking could be used to highlight the differences between the originally submitted documents, and the final versions to be prepared. I personally think that a simple diff would be fine, which should be trivial to obtain from your mercury repository, but any other, more elaborate changelog may also be helpful. FWIW, GFSG assigned me as the Area Director to guide you through the document process, so, if you have any procedural questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, Andre. (*) The trackers have now been moved to the archived comments section at http://www.ogf.org/gf/docs/?archived -- Nothing is ever easy.

Re: [occi-wg] OCCI Editor Getting Started Guide (docs/README.txt)
by Andre Merzky 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hi Sam, all, ready to discuss licensing again? :-) here is an update from OGF28: first, we heard rumours that you may show up here - this would be great, not in the least so that we can discuss the licensing thingie F2F. Usually that is way more productive than endless mailing threads like this one, isn't it :) Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that we have been discussing the issues from the recent email exchanges (and I hope sincerely that these are the issues you are in fact concerned about) within the GFSG. So, there was some discussion to review the current IPR text, and to clarify those passages which seem, in your reading, to hide the fact/intent that using any amount of text from a GFD for documentation and any other purpose is legally perfectly fine: "...derivative works that comment on or otherwise explain it or assist in its implementation may be prepared, copied, published and distributed, in whole or in part, without restriction of any kind..." We will be cross-checking with similar texts of other standards bodies, in particular including IETF, which seem to recently have updated their IPR texts as well, to remove some ambiguities. The OGF IPR was originally modeled after IETF's, and, IIRC, was basically reproducing the OGF IPR word by word. Further we have been discussing the point you raised that the state of OGF documents would be frozen in the case of OGF's disappearance. If this turns out to be a concern for the community, we will consider adding a clause which would release the documents into the public domain in the case of OGF's demise - we certainly don't want to hold anybody back in continuing to work with OGF documents in that case. Both of the above changes however need to be evaluated, and need to be approved by the OGF board. While we don't think this is a problem per se, this will need time to be changed. The OGF IPR is designed as it is to fulfil three goals: (a) support the production and consumption of standards, (b) ensure that OGF documents (i.e. documents released under OGF copyright) went through the OGF document process, and (c) secure OGF against legal litigations. The board will need to make sure that in particular (b) and (c) are not affected by the proposed changes. If this sounds overly bureaucratic to you: well, that is the way we work ;-) Please let us know if changes along those lines would make you sleep better :-D FWIW: for the same reasons as above (a-c), we do actually require that OGF documents are under full OGF copyright, and it does not seem likely that a proposal for dual licensing would find much support, if any. Looking forward to see you in Munich! Best, Andre. -- Nothing is ever easy.

Naming format for occi xsd file
by Gary Mazz 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hi, I'm writing the xsd files for occi as well as the rdfs definition. We will probably also end up with a number of xsd files, one for occi/xhtml5 another for xml or at the least, different versions of one. To keep the naming convention consistent, we need to agree on a combining the occi name, occi version, xsd name space (XML, RDFa, etc) and xsd version into a coherent naming rule. Suggestions are welcome :) cheers, gary
