[wg-all] Cloud Interoperability Testbed and EGI Federated Clouds Task Force projects, Cloud Plugfest series

[Sill, Alan]

Dear OGF colleagues,

I would like to invite further participation from OGF WG members, individually or collectively, in the following projects, each of which is a great forum for demonstrating OCCI and other OGF cloud-relevant standards, and are great places to get involved in cloud interoperability work in general.

OGF has contact with, but does not (on purpose) completely control any of these projects - that's the whole point of interoperability, right?  

Other suggestions on how we can better organize our work on Cloud Interoperability after the successful BOF at OGF 34 (and some significant work on each of the above projects since then) would be welcome. Please get involved!
