I would be definitely interested in an implementation-oriented OCCI
session as part of OGF-42. Is anyone else interested? Thijs, Andy,
Jean Parpaillon?

I cc'd Kostas and Nasia from GRNET as they have another OCCI implementation.

If we can get at least a few interested parties, I can request a BoF
session. (Can I? Are there any restrictions I should know about?)

Thank you!

Cheers, Boris
