Dear OCCI working group, As you know, we strongly encourage attendance at OGF events to get our community to overlap with each other in person as much as possible and to encourage progress on milestones and work items. Having people attend the events assures that they will be active methods of making progress in our community. It si also almost the only method that we have to ensure that the IP agreement has been signed for each session by all participants in a discussion at an event. That having been said, at this meeting only I happen to plan to bring a videoconferencing system and can make access available to the OCCI working group through a desktop to H.323 system bridge that operates on resources that can be accessed for free. I could, if desired, put together a video meeting that would allow you to meet remotely for this event. Phone bridging to this system is also available. If this is of interest, please let me know and I will explore the options.
