[occi-wg] Slides from DMTF APTS and WebEx recordings from IST JTC1 SC38 Open Meeting May 18

[Alan Sill]

Dear all,

FYI, see links at page that Mark Carlson provides below.  The SC38  
Open Meeting took place during the week of the DMTF Alliance Partners  
Technical Symposium at Boulder.  Other slides and links from that  
week's meetings are available at:

I'll leave it to the OCCI-WG leaders to summarize their sessions  
there, but I believe we made good progress building working  
relationships with DMTF and SNIA, and should now think about how to  
provide reference implementations that others can adopt to show off  
the ease of use, power and utility of OCCI. We can do this either  
through partnerships with our existing developer community and  
partners, or through specific example and tutorial pages, but I  
believe we should now do more than usual for OGF to encourage adoption.

These are just my opinions.  I can also report that in my view, the  
relationships we have with other organizations in general may require  
more maintenance and active care than we have been putting into them  
recently, and these are examples of areas in which we can profitably  
benefit from better formal relations between the organizations.  The  
ISO SC38 organizers did encourage us in further conversations to  
become a PAS submitter in order to work more closely with them, based  
on their interest in OCCI and other related OGF work.  I think we  
should talk about this in the Board.

Thanks to Thijs and Andy for their great organization, and to other  
OGF OCCI-WG members who attended and contributed, including Michael,  
Eugene, Gary and others.  At times we had nearly 30 people in the room  
and had to bring in extra tables and chairs during conversations with  
the other groups, including SNIA and DMTF.  That shows a lot of  
interest.  It's up to us now to build on the steps that have been done  
to date and take this set of standards further.  It would  be great to  
see this set achieve wider adoption.

Thanks,
Alan
