Folks, OGF-19: thank you all for your attendance and contributions at two very productive sessions at OGF-19! As planned, Ravi, Allen and I were quite actively attending other sessions for an outreach, and as I gather it we were very well received. Thanks Ravi and Allen! At our sessions, we edited the spec live, and I uploaded the document as it was at the end of session 2 to Gridforge, Documents section. I created a short-link for that http://forge.ogf.org/short/OGSA-DMI-WG/spec which takes you directly to the download page for the specification. F2F: At the GFS-WG session at OGF19, I again meet Alan Yoder, Netapps, and Vincent Franceschini, Hitachi, both from SNIA (Storage Networks Industry Association). After I gave our outreach presentation, both approached me proposing hosting an OGSA-DMI F2F at the SNIA plugfest, which would be early March this year. They also suggested a two-day meeting, us receiving a thorough SMI-S education the first day, and working on the spec the second day. I created a survey for you to indicate your preferences and availability: http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB226579QTJRS Cheers, Michel -- Michel <dot> Drescher <at> uk <dot> fujitsu <dot> com Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe +44 20 8606 4834
