Dear OGF community and work group members, Please see the call for abstract submissions below for the upcoming NIST Cloud Computing Forum & Workshop VIII, July 7-10, 2015. At this event, as a slight departure from previous events, NIST is issuing a call for abstracts and will select among these some participants for presentation. Please feel free to submit your own work. If you would like to present on behalf of an OGF working group or community group effort in an official way, please contact us ASAP so that we can provide you with template materials and help you prepare and present the most effective abstract and presentation. Thank you once again for all that you do to improve the state of the art of distributed computing through your work and through your contributions to OGF.
