This is indeed very useful and timely.
We here at ZHAW,
http://www.zhaw.ch/en/zurich-university-of-applied-sciences.html, are
deploying a large OpenStack installation and a cross infrastructure
management framework interoperability is important for us as both a
business and research concern.
As we're a institute connected to the Swiss federation, the very reasons
noted by the UK and German Ministry reports resonate with us.
The Swiss government is finalizing an Cloud Computing action / adoption
plan and open standards / open source is central to this strategy.

We thus welcome all such supporting developments. Needless to say will
be deploying this.
Best, Thomas

Hi all,
Just a post to let you all know that the implementation for the Open Cloud
Computing Interface (OCCI) [1] blueprint [2] has been placed up on Gerrit [3],
with some great feedback there already. By having this API exposed out of
OpenStack, large projects such as FutureGrid [4], EGI FedCloud [5], FIware [6]
and CompatibleOne [7] (as well as others some listed here [8]) can leverage
OpenStack as an infrastructure platform and in so growing the OpenStack
community and adoption all the more! This also has the backing of
recommendations from the UK [9] and German Governments [10]. Details of what it
can do can be found in the OpenStack wiki [11]. This is work that has been
carried out by Intel Labs Europe in the Cloud Service Lab and is partially
funded by FIware [6] and echoes in spirit, as does the OCCI working group's
principles, much of what Thierry Carrez wrote in his recent blog post [12].
Further, there are an unconference session facilities [13] will be held at next
week's design summit where further discussion can happen. It would be super if
those interested or sceptical could attend this, especially from the aspect of
learning more.
Cheers,
Andy
