Hi Andy, Congratulations!. It is great to see the growing adoption of the specification. When Thijs and I started the group two years ago, it was not easy to convince OGF about the relevance and the urgency of starting this WG, and to involve the first projects and companies. I would like to acknowledge the contribution of the developers of the two first OCCI implementations at INFN and in the OpenNebula open-source community and the RESERVOIR project. They have invested, and are investing, a lot of time in the development, support and maintenance of the code, so contributing to make a difference by creating a "usable" standard. These outcomes are being used in many new research and infrastructure projects, being in my view the main driver for adoption, and the main reason why many companies and projects are creating components around the OCCI open specification. Again, I am very happy to see this level of activity around an open specification for cloud computing. The creation of a group about federation of cloud infrastructures is great news and a natural step that should leverage the work that has been done in the context of many grid OGF WGs. Two supercomputing centers in Europe have federated their cloud infrastructures using OpenNebula and OCCI (http://blog.opennebula.org/?p=999), and there are several Telecoms federating their data centers using a similar approach, I am sure that they will be happy to contribute their experiences.

Hey all, I've put together a short article [1] on some of the current developments in the land of OCCI. Check it out and if you could be so kind re-tweet [2] and share it about :-)
