The 3rd Cloud Plugfest organised by SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association) will take place from September 18-22, 2011 [1]. The purpose of the Cloud Plugfest is for vendors to bring their implementations of the Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) [2] and the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) [3] to test, identify, and fix bugs in a collaborative setting with the goal of providing a forum where interoperable products can be developed.
To make the Plugfest more attractive for european participants, it will take place in two locations simultaneously for the first time. Once in Santa Clara, US (colocated with the Storage Developer Conference), and once in Düsseldorf, Germany (see [1] for more information). A remote participation is also possible. Note: To register for attending at the Düsseldorf location you need to fill the "Cloud Plugfest Planning Survey" [4]. The Plugfest Confidentiality Agreement [5] may be signed in advance or on arrival at the Plugfest location and will allow companies to bring unreleased code to the Plugfest. My colleagues and I will attend at the Düsseldorf location and we will implement, test and demonstrate our OCCI server in combination with OpenNebula 3.0. There will also be a very early implementation of CDMI for OpenNebula. Everyone interested in discussing the future of the OCCI standard is welcome to attend OGF 33 from September 19-23, 2011. The sessions of the OCCI WG will take place on wednesday 21st and will soon be announced in the official schedule on the OGF website [6]. With the Open World Forum another event takes place simultaneously (September 22-24). There will be sessions on interoperability and on the status of current cloud projects - including OpenNebula [7]. I'm looking forward to seeing you at one of those events!
