Dear OCCI folks, Please note the following agenda item at the CSCC Quarterly Meeting, Tuesday, December 13, 2011 Santa Clara, CA USA ... 13:00 - 13:45 Live Cloud Demonstration This presentation will be a live demo of the creation and running of a cloud based on new OGF standards, as well as a discussion of the work the OGF Cloud Interoperability Working Group is doing. ... http://www.cloudstandardscustomercouncil.org/121311/agenda.htm Details: All those who wish to participate or show some material there, please coordinate with Florian. We will be doing the demos like we did at the NIST workshop, through remote presentation with a video backup. All material that you wish to present in a public setting with respect to cloud interoperability, clients and/or the OCCI and related specs in general is OK to show at this session We are working towards the official kickoff of the CI-WG via a BoF at OGF 34 in Oxford March 2012, but are already taking action towards that goal, and no problems with getting started. Florian has graciously agreed to lead the OGF cloud interoperability group during its transition, and the parameters, scope and charter of the group are under discussion for presentation at OGF 34. If you would like to get involved, now is the time; invite your friends, and let's get going. (Note: This work extends from Cloud Interoperabilty work started in the context of various server and client demos started in the OGF OCCI group, informed by interactions with various infrastructure server and client tools and projects of which we are aware, and stimulated by plug-fests and similar projects we have been involved with. If you have been participating in any of those up to now, please do pay attention to any applicable confidentiality agreements you may have agreed to abide by, and only release information that is in the public domain. The OGF- CI-WG will be charged explicitly with producing public documents and will conform to the usual OGF intellectual policy rules and procedures as outlined in GFD.152, so please be sure if you present that you understand these rules, which are designed to keep OGF open!)
