Subject: Cloud Plugfest #2 for CDMI and OCCI Developers

Cloud CDMI and OCCI Developers,
 
The next SNIA Cloud Plugfest (#2) starts on Tuesday July 12 and runs thru Thursday July 14, 2011 at the SNIA Technology Center in Colorado Springs, CO.  The SNIA Cloud Storage Initiative (CSI) is underwriting the costs of the event, therefore there is no participation fee.
 
The purpose of the Cloud Plugfest is for vendors to bring their implementations of CDMI and OCCI to test, identify, and fix bugs in a collaborative setting with the goal of providing a forum in which companies can develop interoperable products.
 
The SNIA provides and supports networks and infrastructure for the Plugfest, creating a collaborative framework for testing. The participants of the Plugfest work together to define the testing process, assuring that objectives are accomplished.
 
Plugfest participants sign a confidentiality agreement so that companies can feel secure in bringing unannounced and/or unreleased products for testing.
 
Besides the opportunity for testing the Cloud Plugfest offers participants a chance to work with and gain in-depth knowledge from the experts developing the CDMI  and OCCI specifications, including  support from other developers. Don't miss this great opportunity to accelerate your  Cloud development!
 
If you cannot physically attend we do support virtual participation via the Internet.
 
The complete details are available at:
 
Please contact me if you have any additional questions.
