Dear OGF working group participants.

As part of our ongoing liaison activities with other organizations, we periodically send and receive updates on work going on in related other organizations.

Please see the update from the Cloud Standards Customer Council below, which includes links to several white papers on topics that may be of interest. The GFSG will respond with an update summarizing recent OGF activity, which you can access yourself by going to https://www.ogf.org and clicking on the “Documents” link. We will be happy to provide copies of recent liaison reports to others who are interested.

If you know of activity that could form the basis for joint work or collaboration on any topic, please feel free to bring it to the attention of your group or area leaders or to reply to me directly (see the “Areas and Groups” link), or use the information on the “Contact” page on the OGF web site.

Thanks,

Alan Sill

President, Open Grid Forum
