FW: [egov-sc] CLOUD COMPUTING

[Colin Wallis <Colin.Wallis@dia.govt.nz>]

Greetings all

 

Forwarding you all this email from the OASIS eGov MS Chair, John Borras.

 

Much of the information will be already known to many folks on this list, so I won't particularly dwell on it except to say that the Cloud Stds co-ordination Wiki includes some content on Audit, which was something I personally did not know about.

 

But to the point of this email: Can we offer eGov any guidance on what we could consider doing/filling in in terms of 'some missing bits'?

 

Bear in mind that the OASIS eGov MS is not a technical group and does not develop standards per se (well not without spinning up a TC to do particular work).

 

The most obvious request would be to reach out to the membership for any 'eGov' use cases pertaining to the Cloud (and pass them over to Id-Cloud).

 

But anything else?

 

Cheers

Colin

It has bothered me for some time that we haven’t been doing anything on Cloud Computing despite several suggestions from contacts and members.  We’ve had an  Item on the work plan all year to establish a Discussion Forum but that hasn’t come to anything yet and I do wonder now whether that is the right thing for us to be doing.  I’ve just been pointed to this article and related material which gives a good overview of where things are at and who’s doing what.  The question is in my mind is, given all this activity where can we add value or fill in some missing bits?  I would welcome your views and let’s have a discussion about it on next week’s SC call.
