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:

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.

Thanks,
Alan
