Thanks Daniel, Andre and Peter, OCCI-wg, what think you? Can you make it to London? This would seem a good opportunity to make progress. (We also have the OCCIware activities, separately proposed, which could also make use of a London OGF 42 venue meeting.) Let us know ASAP.

Dear OGF members and participants,
As mentioned earlier, we are planning to hold OGF 42 split across two different related conferences in Europe and the UK in September, the first and main portion of which will be held during and as part of the Cloud and Autonomic Computing conference 8-12 Sep 2014 at Imperial College in London. (The second portion of this will be meetings of the networking groups, in particular the NSI-WG, at the NorduNet conference later in the month.)
We do expect the majority of our active working groups will want to meet at the CAC conference. The location is convenient and easy to get to; the conference is located at a university that is willing to accommodate our requests for working group meeting space, and the conference is also co-located with other interesting events for our community. In particular, this would be an excellent venue at which to discuss our work within OGF on federated security and access models and tools, and related topics oriented towards building participation from the community.
Prior to this, OGF 41 will be incorporated into XSEDE 2014 in the USA July, as we previously mentioned. It is our hope that following this event reasonably closely with another event convenient to our community members in Europe will help stimulate additional work and meetings of current and prospective new OGF groups. BOF sessions will be entertained and welcome as usual.
We encourage you to think about new activities to take place at both of these events in the spirit of the OGF charter and mission, which is to be an open community committed to driving the rapid evolution and adoption of applied distributed computing through open forums that build the community, explore trends, share best practices, document findings and consolidate these results into standards. We are committed to keeping OGF true to this mission as methods for accomplishing these goals evolve through natural technological advancement.
In particular, the launch of the EGI Federated Cloud announced recently at the EGI Community Forum illustrates that the community that spawned OGF is still working to advance the forefront of applied distributed computing and to bring its efforts to bear fruitfully on problems of interest to our community. We encourage the organizers of the Federated Cloud and related community groups tackling problems of federated identity management, use of standards (including those from outside of OGF as well as those that we develop internally) as well as practical items of software and best practices, etc., to meet at OGF 42 and to take full advantage of the opportunities for extended group meetings including working sessions that this will provide. We also think this would be a great location for a meeting of the OCCI working group and related application groups that are being formed to exploit OGF work in this area.
A formal call for session requests will be issued shortly. Meanwhile, please discuss this opportunity among your colleagues and consider forwarding any requests for special working group meetings, BOFs or other open sessions to us via your area directors or the GFSG, or directly to events@ogf.org or standards@ogf.org
The link for the main conference for CAC 2014 is http://autonomic-conference.org
Finally, let me mention that a nominating committee has recently been formed as a result of conversations at OGF 40 at Oxford, and will be recruiting nominations for specific positions in OGF shortly. Please be prepared to nominate suitable candidates for the positions that the NOMCOM has identified once it announces them; self-nominations are allowed.

Along with confirmations of interest from other group members (Jean, Augusto, others) for this and relayed sessions, this looks to be a good event. Look forward to work ahead of time and to seeing you there! Alan

Thanks Daniel, Andre and Peter,
OCCI-wg, what think you? Can you make it to London? This would seem a good opportunity to make progress.
(We also have the OCCIware activities, separately proposed, which could also make use of a London OGF 42 venue meeting.)
Let us know ASAP.

Dear all, Thanks for all of this interest in implementations. While Andy and Thijs have indicated that they plan to come to OGF 42 with work done ahead of time on the documents through interaction with each other and all of you, and thus presumably will be requesting a session (or more than one) for the OCCI-WG specifically to work on these topics, I am hearing considerable interest in having a session (or more than one) on OCCI implementations also. We could handle this by having one or more OCCI Implementations Community (OCCI-IC) charter group meetings as part of OGF-42, and/or holding a Cloud Plugfest associated with the event at or near the conference. IN the past, we have had good Cloud Plugfest events either before or during an associated parent conference, or even as stand-alone events. If you decide to submit a request for a Community group under the "implementations community" paradigm, the form for doing this is on the OGF web site under the link "Call for Session Proposals" and we would encourage you to organize any specific new group effort first as a BoF session. Let me know if I can help guide any of these efforts or advise you in any of the procedures. For my own part, I would love to see new implementation efforts organizes as Implementation Community Groups, and these could be as narrowly or broadly defined as you like - that is, there could be one around the Erlang implementation efforts, one around rOCCI, one on OCCI-OS and they could each serve as vehicles to discuss the details of a particular implementation while clearly communicating with each other on the details of the standard. Alternatively, they could be organized around a project irrespective of the language, as in the latter example above. Again, let me know if I can help. Meanwhile, please submit any session proposals that you like, and you can rely on us to suggest merging or reorganization if that looks to be a good idea based on the submissions. https://www.ogf.org/ogf/doku.php/events/ogf-42 https://www.ogf.org/ogf/doku.php/events/ogf-42/call_for_session_proposals Alan On Jul 10, 2014, at 9:01 PM, Michael Behrens <michael.behrens@r2ad.com<mailto:michael.behrens@r2ad.com>> wrote: +1 Sounds interesting.

If you decide to submit a request for a Community group under the "implementations community" paradigm, the form for doing this is on the OGF web site under the link "Call for Session Proposals" and we would encourage you to organize any specific new group effort first as a BoF session.
I would be definitely interested in an implementation-oriented OCCI session as part of OGF-42. Is anyone else interested? Thijs, Andy, Jean Parpaillon? I cc'd Kostas and Nasia from GRNET as they have another OCCI implementation. If we can get at least a few interested parties, I can request a BoF session. (Can I? Are there any restrictions I should know about?) Thank you! Cheers, Boris On Fri, Jul 11, 2014 at 4:29 AM, Sill, Alan <alan.sill@ttu.edu> wrote:

No restrictions to request a session. (That's the great thing about having an open forum!)
just to keep everyone informed, Thijs already requested such a session (thank you!). So, hopefully, I will see you all there :-)

Yes, I proposed days ago an update about an OCCI-monitoring experiment. 20' or such.

Boris, The short answer is "yes", although depending on how we handle the schedule, you may be able to get by with a one- or two-day pass to cover the OCCI parts of the agenda. Jens was looking into an OGF-only registration that would not cover the CAC itself. The main costs we have to cover are those for the room, meal and break arrangements and when one plans a conference, knowing how many will attend is the main point when calculating the risk to the organization for making these commitments. With a CAC registration, they cover all of the associated arrangements for these details and we are just another activity within the conference; plus this allows you to meet and interact with other attendees in an organized way. At this time we were planning to try to group all of the OCCI and DRMAA and related cloud BoF sessions together on Tuesday and Wednesday of the week, so a 2-day pass would be sufficient. Our plans are to put groups like GLUE, BES, JSDL etc. into the Wednesday and Thursday time slots, and the Security area groups have not yet specified a preference. There is a workshop on cloud security on Monday of the week as part of the CAC conference, which might make a nice matching with the OGF cloud and OCCI stuff towards the front of the week if you want to justify a full-week registration, and there is a co-sponsored OGF and CAC workshop on autonomic management of clouds and grids also that is organized for Friday, which although separate from the OGF sessions and academically oriented, might also be of interest. Note that a full-week registration at the reduced rate offered to IEEE and OGF members is the same price as a 3-day pass. (You are an OGF member officially if you have attended 2 events within the past 2 years, I believe, or it might be 2 f the last 3 events - I will check - or are a member of one of our sponsoring organizations. You can also buy an individual membership good for one year for $200 per year, which just as for the above membership options gets you the reduced membership-based price for attending OGF events. In this case that is a $150 discount, so it is almost worthwhile.) If there is enough interest in an OGF-only rate, and if we can get a definite number of attendees to commit to how many days they will be there and how many room we will need to cover their activities, Jens can complete his investigations and give us the options. My honest feeling is that it will not be a lot less than the above costs, but we can look into this if we plan quickly. So as a summary: We hope to contain most OGF and DRMAA and related meetings into the 2-day interval of Tuesday and Wednesday September 9-10, for which a 2-day pass for the CAC at $400 would be sufficient. We encourage you to look at the options of coming earlier (e.g. in time for the cloud security workshop) or staying later for the Friday AMGCC workshop and/or interacting with some of the other OGF groups to make a full-week stay at the conference worthwhile. OGF membership rates if booked by Aug. 1st are only $600 for the full week (it says IEEE on the web site but if you get to the registration page itself it does say IEEE or OGF on that form), which is the same as a 3-day pass. You can also purchase an OGF membership for $200, which will get you discounts for registration at OGF events when we organize them ourselves - or a $150 discount in this case. Let me know if you have any further questions. Alan On Jul 24, 2014, at 4:33 AM, Boris Parak <xparak@mail.muni.cz> wrote:
