Dear all, FYI, see links at page that Mark Carlson provides below. The SC38 Open Meeting took place during the week of the DMTF Alliance Partners Technical Symposium at Boulder. Other slides and links from that week's meetings are available at: http://dmtf.org/news/events/2011apts/2011_schedule I'll leave it to the OCCI-WG leaders to summarize their sessions there, but I believe we made good progress building working relationships with DMTF and SNIA, and should now think about how to provide reference implementations that others can adopt to show off the ease of use, power and utility of OCCI. We can do this either through partnerships with our existing developer community and partners, or through specific example and tutorial pages, but I believe we should now do more than usual for OGF to encourage adoption. These are just my opinions. I can also report that in my view, the relationships we have with other organizations in general may require more maintenance and active care than we have been putting into them recently, and these are examples of areas in which we can profitably benefit from better formal relations between the organizations. The ISO SC38 organizers did encourage us in further conversations to become a PAS submitter in order to work more closely with them, based on their interest in OCCI and other related OGF work. I think we should talk about this in the Board. Thanks to Thijs and Andy for their great organization, and to other OGF OCCI-WG members who attended and contributed, including Michael, Eugene, Gary and others. At times we had nearly 30 people in the room and had to bring in extra tables and chairs during conversations with the other groups, including SNIA and DMTF. That shows a lot of interest. It's up to us now to build on the steps that have been done to date and take this set of standards further. It would be great to see this set achieve wider adoption. Thanks, Alan Begin forwarded message:
