nes from Cloud

["Mike Poulin" <mpoulin@usa.com>]

I've been at Cloud Expo Europe 2013 for the last 2 days where IBM's Robert LeBlanc, Sr. Vice President, made a presentation where a few times mentioned 1) a need for standardization; 2) OASIS, and 3) ecosystem of Cloud contributers.
 
 
I stopped at IBM stand and talked to several 'marketing' guys. They confirmed that IBM is interested in Cloud ecosystem topic and OASIS standardisation but had offered their proposals to The Open Group. I suggested that our team will contact Mr. LeBlanc for the purpose of cooperation since our specification has defined SO Ecosystem already and IMB claims Cloud a realisation of service orientation.
 
 
ANy suggestions? When I said 'our team will contact' I , actually, meant Ken first of all.
