Dear OGF folks, As you may know, the US NIST and EU SIENA working groups on cloud computing topics are in a very active state now, and now is the time to engage. The following list of NIST cloud computing working group meetings is available at their Cloud Computing collaboration web site: http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-cloud-computing/bin/view/CloudComputing/We... In addition, SIENA has a somewhat higher-level process going on and is planning their CloudScape III event March 15-16 in Brussels, Belgium, and is working on a similar wiki, but that at present is for roadmap document participants only and is not yet public. If the SIENA process expands to include other participants, I will be sure to try to pass this on to OGF participants. Meanwhile, participation in the groups linked above and below on the part of OGF-related participants would be helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions. These are fairly high-level groups, and participation by everyone in all groups is not necessary or required, but I would like to ensure that we have adequate contact between OGF and both of these roadmapping processes.
