Open Grid Forum - Oxford, UK

R2AD represented DISA at the OGF-34 event which was held in Oxford, UK. Overall, the conference proved a good exchange of information between the various working groups as well as between standards organizations that were in attendance (i.e.: DMTF and EGI). R2AD presented the PaaS slides to the OCCI working group.

The OCCI WG will be taking up PaaS standardization after the work on the JSON rendering is complete. The Cloud Interoperability BoF was very interesting and they will form a working group to establish profiles for interoperability. CompatibleOne also presented it's open source cloud broker to the OCCI working group. CompatibleOne uses OCCI in a fascinating way...check it out!
