FYI. Please review the user survey link below and mount a serious campaign to get OCCI (through OCCI-OS or any other appropriate means) supported permanently in OpenStack. (Same goes for other projects in which we have successfully been able to get a pilot project or interface!)
News: I will fund a CAC project at TTU to put students on appropriate implementation projects to support this and other related topics if you will tell them what to do! I think others would also at other institutes, if you will give them a little direction. The EGI Federated Cloud and other spinoff efforts are also adding significantly to the boost for efforts on standards and standards-based approaches.
