Hi all,

My apologies for not being able to make the meeting and my thanks to JP
for taking these notes and making them available.

I may have missed this, but has anyone attempted to describe the Cloud 
instances using GLUE 2.0 and the built-in extension points?

This would (potentially) be useful for Cloud users as they can use GLUE 
2.0 as-is and not have to wait for rolling out a schema update.

It would be useful for us because we designed extension points to 
support exactly this use-case.  If it turns out that Cloud services 
cannot be described in GLUE 2.0 then our extension system is broken and 
should be updated with GLUE 2.1

So, is anyone attempting to map the Cloud use-cases to GLUE 2.0 (using 
extension points) ?

Cheers,

Paul.
