[occi-wg] Potential libcloud / OCCI collaboration

[Sam Johnston]

Afternoon Alex et al,

I write to you as the secretary of the Open Grid Forum (OGF)'s Open Cloud
Computing Interface (OCCI) working group. You can find out more about us at
http://www.occi-wg.org/ but our aim in a nutshell is to create a truly open
standard API for cloud infrastructure services (IaaS), with a final release
due in October.

I joined the OCCI-WG back in March after running into difficulties making
multiple cloud APIs work together due to impedance mismatches between them,
and would very much like to see a successful API result such that adapters
are eventually not necessary. If libcloud were to support OCCI then not only
would it gain access to anyone who implements it, but eventually it could
become a primary programmatic inteface for our RESTful API. I see this as a
great opportunity for us to collaborate given we are working towards a
common goal from different angles.

Anyway I've joined this group and will contribute when I can. I encourage
you also to join the OCCI working group (copied) and follow our progress.

Kind regards,

Sam
