Hello Alexis:

           Many thanks for your interests and kind offer. I would be great to join your teleconference on Wednesday, if you could provide further details, such as contact number, time, and possible agenda. Face-to-Face meeting would also be great, you know, London is not far, it’s just two hour journey. I can easily pop over J

          Regards!

X. Chen

That sounds *fantastic*.

You are very welcome to join one of our sessions.  We meet on Wednesdays by phone.  If you want to do a special face to face session then why not come up to London next time some of the other OCCI folks are visiting?

Best wishes

Dear all:

           I am a research fellow from University of Southampton and currently co-chairing OGF-UR working group. Recently we were funded by UK JISC to perform a technical review task for using infrastructure cloud for research, which is required to cover following stakeholders:

· a researcher

· someone working in a research support services role;

· someone working in an IT services role;

· Steering groups or vendors;

· possibly other people;

Expected interview results are expected to identify issues including: virtualisation, cloud infrastructure prototype, resource planning, application correlation, standards & interoperability, Cloud programming models, measurement benchmarks, debugging and profiling, security, Monitoring and logging, service-level management, open source solutions

         Further details of our project, TeciRes, is available online at: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/programmes/research_infrastructure/technical_review_of_cloud_project_plan.pdf

         So we are thinking of the possibility to have a special session from OCCI group to collect use cases of public cloud and hybrid clouds through standard OCCI interfaces, and get some feedbacks from both cloud providers and researchers. We shall also very  interested in the current status of OCCI standardisation efforts and roadmap. If you have sessions setup, could you please share 10-20 mins to us in one of your proposed sessions?

                Best Regards!
