Let me agree with Joel, and emphasize the value and importance of registering early (before this Friday's Early Registration deadline) to save yourself some money for OGF 35 at the links below, and also for the associated Cloud Plugfest event to be held only a short distance away in Amsterdam at the Science Park. Two different but nearby events: - OGF 35 June 17-19 co-located with the HPDC'12 conference in Delft, http://ogf.org/OGF35 - SNIA / OGF / ETSI Cloud Interoperability Plugfest June 14 - 16 in Amsterdam, http://cloudplugfest.org If you are in a different location in the world at that time and still want to participate in the plugfest, there are locations in Shenzhen China and Chicago, Illinois USA for the Cloud Plugfest event. There will also be the opportunity for remote participation in the Cloud Plugfest -- check out the event web site and register (free!) for more details. Thanks to all who are participating in organizing these two very interesting and vital events for OGF. Hopefully one or the other will allow you to continue to participate in and gain value from your work with the OGF community. Alan On May 22, 2012, at 9:17 PM, Joel Replogle wrote:

OGF Community - OGF35 is under a month away, and the early registration deadline expires after Friday, 25 May 2012. Register now through this URL: www.ogf.org/OGF35/registration.php

We are excited to be co-locating with the HPDC'12 event, and look forward to a very productive meeting.

Also, immediately in advance of the OGF35 event, we are hosting a plugfest in Amsterdam to promote standards interoperability. The cloud plugfest is the next in an on-going series of plugfest meetings involving developers implementing OGF's OCCI and SNIA's CDMI standards. More information may be found here: www.cloudplugfest.org

See you in Delft!

Thanks,

Joel
