Dave, I'm not at OSCON this year but here's a talk I gave last month at the Swiss Open Cloud Day at the University of Bern:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGlgfvz_bpo We're essentially ready to go but as the OCI's not a standards development organisation (SDO) — even if I'm personally involved in standards development — we need one or more dominant standards to emerge before we can certify and promote them. I've done some preliminary work on an "SMTP for the cloud" that should bear fruit soon... that could be interesting in encouraging portability without having to standardise everything (similarly, Notes, Exchange, etc. expose their own proprietary APIs for clients/management/etc. while using a relatively rudimentary protocol for interoperability). Thanks for the invitation — hopefully one of my fellow board members (copied) will be in town and able to give a quick update/overview.
