FYI. Session requests (even for sessions that are largely remote) for OGF 44 are nearly final but can still be requested. https://redmine.ogf.org/projects/ogf-44/issues https://redmine.ogf.org/projects/ogf-44/issues/new Alan Begin forwarded message: From: Tiziana Ferrari <tiziana.ferrari@egi.eu<mailto:tiziana.ferrari@egi.eu>> Date: May 4, 2015 at 4:43:22 AM CDT To: Sara Coelho <sara.coelho@egi.eu<mailto:sara.coelho@egi.eu>> Cc: Peter Solagna <peter.solagna@egi.eu<mailto:peter.solagna@egi.eu>>, Alan Sill <alan.sill@ttu.edu<mailto:alan.sill@ttu.edu>>, Malgorzata Krakowian <malgorzata.krakowian@egi.eu<mailto:malgorzata.krakowian@egi.eu>>, Sven Gabriel <sveng@nikhef.nl<mailto:sveng@nikhef.nl>>, Enol Fernández <enol.fernandez@egi.eu<mailto:enol.fernandez@egi.eu>> Subject: Re: OGF and EGI: OCCI, GLUE, etc Yes, plenty of interest from the federated cloud team as EGI is contributing to standardization in both groups. I already informed them that OGF 44 could host sessions in those two areas to stir participation. Alan please let us know when the OGF Programme is final so that We can advertise It through our channels, thanks Tiziana On May 4, 2015 9:05 AM, "Sara Coelho" <sara.coelho@egi.eu<mailto:sara.coelho@egi.eu>> wrote: Hi all, OGF44 will take place in Lisbon, co-located with our conference. Their convener, Alan Sill (cc'd), sent me the email below, with a couple of questions about OCCI and interest in GLUE and security issues. Could you please have a look below and see if there is opportunities of interest to both sides of the Atlantic? Thanks Sara On 01/05/2015 17:23, Sill, Alan wrote: On the schedule for the OGF meetings, it looks like there will e Security Area group meetings all morning Thursday, OCCI meetings Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, and a Cloud Plugfest going on both Thursday and Friday. We may pick up small requests for other group meetings depending on the interests of those attending. I will let you know as soon as the groups make their meeting interests clear. At least one of the meetings Friday will be joint between the OGF Security area (probably FedSec-CG) and an EGI project, I am told (by Jens Jensen). I would also like to encourage a meeting between the OCCI and the federated security groups, but this may take place over the natural course of events in the meetings. Are there EGI projects with OGF interests (GLUE, etc.) for which we should try to arrange special meetings? Thanks very much and I look forward to seeing you in Lisbon. Please let me know if there are details about the meeting that we should pass on to our OGF participants. Thanks, Alan -- Sara Coelho Communications, EGI.eu<http://EGI.eu>
