Dear Andy, all,

There is little left to say for me (thanks to others) but a wholeheartedly
"Bravo!" on the effort.

As Matteo and others have stated, it is important to have a publicly
defined standard being implemented in production grade software. But much
more important, certainly from an EGI perspective, is the availability of
*choice* of implementation for anyone who wishes to operate a Cloud
platform.

For us at EGI it is of particular importance as we are working towards a
production level federation of IaaS Cloud offerings, as a federation cannot
prescribe which particular software implementation to operate. With the
availability of OCCI in OpenStack, we now are in the place to actually see
our endorsement for OCCI to happen in in reality rather on paper.

What's more, native support for OCCI particularly makes the choice for
OpenStack attractive, as this means not only less operative service
management effort for a fronting proxy service (I hope!), but also, lets
say, less opportunity for configuration and operation mistakes. :-)

Cheers, and thanks again,
Michel
