Most definitely.

Sure. Maybe we can do a short write up of how the OCCI/CDMI/OVF integration would address the NIST stuff. I remember Alan pointing me to some NIST standards wiki pages with a table of use cases and cloud desiderata -- would be a good starting point to show what the DCIfed integration is supposed to address, if we assume OCCI/OVF/CDMI to be this integration.

That sounds very interesting. Can we help you with anything on this?

Yep, seen that. Comments in that mail.

Best,
