ICCLab is just back from Open World Forum in Paris after being part of the organisation of the “Open Cloud, Open Standards” session that was run in conjunction with CloudCamp. It was an excellent session and Simon Wardley was the master of MC’ing. There was a number of presentations to kick off the day and that was followed by very interesting and energetic round table discussions. The ICCLab presented on OCCI and you can see that presentation here (PDF here):
The topics of discussion during the day revolved around:
- “Does the Cloud need standards?”
- “Government role in Cloud, beneficial or dangerous intervention?”
- “What do we mean by standards anyway – specification or reference model?”
- “Whose standards – de jeure or defacto?”
- “Should those standards be open?”
- “Is there any such thing as an open API or are all APIs open?”
Stay tuned for an upcoming blog post where we discuss the out comes of the session.
