We have a two-hours session scheduled during the conference: it is our session, and we can organize it in the way that better fits our needs, provided that the four scheduled talks take place. For instance, if we reduce the length of the presentations to 20 minutes (instead of 30), 40 minutes are left for discussion, briefing or whatever. Also, I am rather confident that Closer would be happy to allow the utilization of the same room for an extended time slot (thought I'd need to check and ask for this). So there is really the opportunity to capitalize on this Special Session: we just need a widely agreed definition and purpose for the additional activity that we want to carry out (agenda). It would be great if this could help the delivery of the pending documents (OCCI 1.2 and monitoring). A formal announcement, according with Jean's suggestion, should be based on a work plan: is there any plan of this sort? Can we envision a further meeting to be formally announced during the Session?

Is there a need for the OCCI-WG or its members and participants (or a community group focused on OCCI implementations) to meet at CLOSER 2016? OGF could pay for meeting rooms and.or offer a small co-sponsorship of the conference to cover the reasonable costs of such a meeting if so.
We don’t have a lot of money for such things and try to spend it carefully, but meetings of OGF groups that are well attended at topical conference is one way that we try to use it and is possible under special circumstances.
Given the pending release of OCCI 1.2, I think that a meeting on OCCI 1.2 implementations would be well in scope and is something that we can consider.

Dear all, Thank you Augusto for organizing this session. I would propose an official OCCI discussion to be announced during this session. I have no doubt such discussion will appear informally during the conference but for funding/administrative purpose, it would greatly help to have it officially announced, and maybe let some people join who could not otherwise.
Cheers, Jean

Dear members of the occi-wg maillist,
this is to finalize the details about the Special Session about OCCI at CLOSER 2016 <http://closer.scitevents.org/OCCI.aspx>, to be held in Rome (Italy), 23-25 April. The Program Committee selected 4 papers out of 6 that were submitted, and the authors will present their work on the second day of the Conference. The exact time of the presentations is still to be finalized.
The selected papers are the following:
Evolution of The Open Cloud Computing Interface, by Boris Parak et al.
Easing Scientific Computing and Federated Management in the Cloud with OCCI, by Zdenek Šustr et al*.*
SLAaaS: an OCCI compliant framework for cloud SLA provisioning and violation detection, by G. Katsaros et al. Beyond Nagios - Design of a cloud monitoring system (Augusto Ciuffoletti)
It is my hope that this event will extend the reach of the OCCI principles to new people, especially researchers. Those of you that are going to participate to CLOSER are warmly invited to participate to the event to get in touch and reinforce a network.

The deadline for paper submission expires on February 10. If you want to report and discuss about an adoption, or propose a new application, you still have more than three weeks to put it on paper and send to us.
All relevant infos are now on Closer site in a dedicated page <http://closer.scitevents.org/OCCI.aspx>, or in our flier <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1327309/Closer_OCCI_2016.pdf>.

Dear all,
there will be a special session dedicated to OCCI during the "Closer 2016" conference that will take place in Rome, near to the end of April. The session is intended to gather results and proposals about the Open Cloud Computing Interface: adoption stories are specifically appreciated, but also proposals for extensions, new applications and tools.
The deadline for submission is on February, and you find a flyer with the schedule and further info at http://tinyurl.com/clocci16.
