Dear OGF working group members,

The full set of OGF 39 sessions is now posted as part of the online schedule for all sessions at the EGI Technical Forum 2013 next week, 16-20 September 2013, in Madrid. Please check for your sessions sung the online link:

Those who are attending EGI TF 2013 in person can also download the Conference4Me app at http://conference4me.eu/download (available for iOS or Android), from which you will be able to browse the complete program and select and organize your own session agenda. For more information on this, see the EGI TF page on this topic at

http://tf2013.egi.eu/programme/

During the week OGF will also be co-sponsoring a major event, the Cloud Interoperability Week, consisting of sessions held Monday through Wednesday at the SNIA Storage Developers Conference in Santa Clara, California and a workshop, tutorials and testing sessions held Wednesday through Friday at the EGI TF 2013 in Madrid. OGF is working with a number of important standards organizations as well as the OW2 open source community and the OCEAN FP7 project to carry out this week of interoperability activities.

The workshop and tutorial agendas are online on the CloudPlugfest.org site at the links below:

There will be tutorials on installing and running five different OCCI-enabled cloud software stacks -- CompatibleOne, ProActive, CloudStack, OpenNebula and OpenStack and managing them through OCCI tools during the tutorial sessions on Thursday, for which the agenda is as follows:

(This is after most of the EGI TF sessions and after the OGF 39 ones, so we hope that most of you will be able to attend if you are interested in hands-on experiences with experts on each of these software stacks.)

Attendance at these Cloud Plugfest sessions is free for those who have already registered through cloudplugfest.org separately, or for those who are registered to attend the EGI Technical Forum.

Please let me, Andre Merzky, or Andrew Grimshaw know if you have any questions on the OGF 39 sessions or on our co-located activities. We look forward to seeing all of you from OGF who are in attendance at the EGI TF and OGF 39 next week!
