OCCI and CloudAudit at CloudConnect 2010

I presented OCCI and CloudAudit at the CloudConnect event this week, on Wed. 17 March, the third day of the conference. The presentation is on SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/shl0m0/cloud-connect-occi-cloudaudit-standards-upd... This was given as the first presentation of the day, in the session entitled "Where we are today: the state of the standards". I received very positive feedback on it; two people independently came up to me and said it was the best presentation they'd yet seen at the conference. The contentious standards panel that you may have heard about happened later in the day. Some links to various writeups about that: http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2010/03/let_stormy_sess.ht... http://doubleclix.wordpress.com/2010/03/17/the-art-of-cloud-standards/ Shlomo -- Shlomo Swidler Cloud Computing Consultant, Developer, Amazon EC2 Expert http://www.orchestratus.com/ http://www.shlomoswidler.com/

Shlomo What would you say is the current state of OCCI adoption and activity in the US? Who is most interested in 'the next step'? alexis On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 11:34 AM, <shlomo.swidler@gmail.com> wrote:

I see a lot of "theoretical" interest, from companies who will adopt it once it becomes more adopted. Chicken and egg problem. The prime push for standards is coming from the government at this point, to allow them to specify something standard in their RFQs. I'm not hooked into the gov't angle, unfortunately.

It might be worth getting the help of Craig Lee (OGF President) if you¹d like some introduction to government activities and people, as this is something he¹s been working on for a while now. -- Chris On 20/3/10 20:52 , "shlomo.swidler@gmail.com" <shlomo.swidler@gmail.com> wrote:

Chris, agreed. Shlomo, Thanks. As you mentioned, the ability "to specify something standard in their RFQs" will save every RFQ bidder from having to invent a cloud API. That means saving gobs of cash and many months of work. Some folks in the UK are flying this kite with TPTB in "G-Cloud". We should share info with our international colleagues and list members. alexis On Sun, Mar 21, 2010 at 4:33 AM, Christopher Smith <csmith@platform.com> wrote:
