A suggestion came up recently to formalize a new version of the OCF resource agent API standard[1].
The main goal would be to formalize the API as it is actually used today, and to replace the "unique" meta-data attribute with two new attributes indicating uniqueness and reloadability. We could also add the fence agent API as a new spec, or expand the RA spec to cover both. The Open Cluster Framework (OCF) was originally created in 2003 as a working group of the Free Standards Group, which itself was absorbed into the Linux Foundation in 2007. Today, OCF isn't even listed among the Linux Foundation's workgroups[2]. The opencf.org domain name (and, IIRC, website) is owned by Linbit. Does anyone have opinions about this, or suggestions about where to start? Should we keep it on the mailing lists, and focus on the RA API? Or should we figure out the status of OCF itself as an entity, and resurrect it somehow?
