[occi-wg] Cloud and API discussions at OGF 43 + virtual Cloud Plugfest

Thu Mar 26 10:18:36 EDT 2015

Hi,

We have a discussion scheduled for 4:00 - 5:30 pm today East Coast US time (inconvenient time for you, I know).

I can try to bring you in over Skype to explain OCCI if you are available.

Also we have a Cloud Plugfest tomorrow at which we will be explaining how to use the new US CloudLab and Chameleon facilities for standards testing. Anyone who has a virtual machine or recipe for preparing a standards-based add-on to any cloud software, please send the recipe to us so we can include it in the presentation to use at the Cloud Plugfest.

Remote participation and provision of test servers for use at the Cloud Plugfest is very much needed and would be welcome! E-mail me separately or send to the group, and let me know your availability to participate.

Thanks,
Alan

P.S.: We have a good turnout here and do expect several more people to come tomorrow specifically for the Cloud Plugfest.

What time Thursday or Friday would be best for you? I am thinking to schedule a session on RESTful API design, open for remote attendance, at which we can discuss this and current status of OCCI and related design needs. (Networking, batch submission, etc.)

Hi,

Thanks for this. I put this info into the position paper for OGF we prepared for CloudScape.

Andy: Any news on publication of the book chapter that we worked on?

Both: Can you and/or other OCCI group members participate in a virtual cloud plugfest the week of OGF 43? (We mostly need availability to answer implementation questions, work on implementations together, and exchange notes. If either of you wants, we could have a remote presentation on the status of OCCI also.)

I could also use some help interacting with the OGF NSI group on RESTful interface design. Right now their interface is specified as SOAP/XML only.

Hi,

Sure does this help:

•         OCCI working group plans to release a update revision of the OCCI specs as version 1.2
•         This version will be backwards compatible to OCCI 1.1
•         The updated revision will include:
o   Minor updates of current OCCI spec (core infrastructure)
o   New rendering document in place: JSON next along to update HTTP protocol and existing text rendering
o   New extensions include PaaS support, notifications support and SLA support
•         Release date is asap – finally stages of writing are on the way.

I’m unfortunately in meetings all march long :-/ So won’t be able to join cloudscape or CloudExpo :(

I could use some words about OCCI’s current status and plans for our OGF position paper for Cloudscape. (Brussels, 9-10 March, position papers due by this Friday.)

Will you be there, or at CloudExpo in London immediately after? Any comments or input to offer?

Dear all,

Welcome to the Clouscape VII speakers list! This is just a quick message to you all to remind you to please send your position papers by CoB Friday 27 February. Many thanks to those who have sent in papers already.

  *   You can either submit the paper here online - following our template (this is recommended so the papers follow a structure.You can submit here<http://www.cloudscapeseries.eu/pages/insertpositionpapers.aspx>.
  *   Or alternatively, you can send your paper to me personally. Please include a title for your paper and as a guide - maximum 500 words.
The position papers are an excellent opportunity for you to leave a lasting mark at the event. No pressure but all speakers normally provide a paper although they are not obligatory and we understand if you cannot make it.

The papers are published individually online and also together in an ebooklet and sent around to participants before the event. See last year's impressive papers<http://admin.cloudscapeseries.eu/Repository/document/PositionPapersCSVI/CloudScapeVI_PositionPapers_web.pdf>. We have these going right back to Cloudscape I which we're really proud of and have become very useful documents.

We ask for these in advance so my colleague Stephanie and I can edit them and our graphics team can put them in an attractive format.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further details.

Thanks,

Nick
