To All in the OCCI/OGF Community,
As you should know, the OCCI WG will be sending their Use Case and Requirements document to the OGF Editor soon and is finishing their draft specification in time for discussion at OGF-27. Given the tremendous interest in cloud computing, this gives the OCCI WG and OGF a set of important opportunities that could have high visibility -- and hopefully high impact.
I have pinged the potential implementors listed on the wiki, and as of this email, * OpenNebula, * Cisco CTO Cloud Concept Lab, and * SLA@SOI have all re-affirmed their commitment to implement the OCCI spec.
Clearly, once we have some implementations, we will be in a position to organize a set of open IaaS cloud demonstrations. This was discussed on the last cloud-standards.org telecon with a very positive reaction. Any such demos could certainly integrate the use of other standards, such as DMTF's OVF and SNIA's CDMI.
The exact demo scenarios to approach is clearly an important issue. These scenarios should be ones that are important to the major potential adopters and users of OCCI. The large-scale, national cloud initiatives that have been announced recently could be a good source for such scenarios, and help drive open standards, since they will want portability and interoperability to avoid vendor lock-in. Hence, OGF is actively pursuing engagement within the Japanese Kasumigaseki Cloud, the UK G-Cloud, and the US Cloud Storefront efforts.
Finally I want caveat all of these plans -- this simply is the strategic direction that OGF is taking, and obviously no particular outcomes are guaranteed. We must, however, plan ahead for the implementations that are coming. As always, comments are welcome.
Best regards -- and I look forward to seeing you in Banff,

Incidentally, it would be good to see an OCCI update at the next cloudcamp in london - sep 23rd. a On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 10:53 AM, Alexis Richardson<alexis.richardson@gmail.com> wrote:
