Subject: RE: [tosca] Interop & Presentation Opportunities for TOSCA TC Members


Hi Jane,

 

Thanks very much for bringing this to the attention of the TOSCA TC. If you would like to present an overview of all these opportunities to the TC, please let me know. We would be glad to put you on the agenda so that folks can understand directly from you the benefits implicit should we choose to participate in the Cloud Expo East and Cloud World Forum Interop demonstrations.

 

That said; our evaluation and commitment would come after our Interop SC considers this information and makes specific recommendations to the TOSCA TC for its final consideration and approval at a later date. At that time, we’ll be glad to get back to you with specifics, of course.

 

Regarding Forecast 2014, we already have some video material, so I am personally enthusiastic that this may appeal to the TC members and the Interop SC. IMHO, this seems like low-hanging fruit, at least upon initial examination.

 

Thanks,

Paul

Subject: [tosca] Interop & Presentation Opportunities for TOSCA TC Members

 

Dear TOSCA TC Members,

 

As you know, we are continuing to research ways to educate the marketplace on the benefits and status of our TOSCA work, and to provide visibility for TC members.  

 

Below are a few new marketing opportunities for the Committee to consider.  We hope the Committee will participate in one or more of the opportunities.  I plan to join the next Committee meeting to facilitate a discussion and answer questions.  In the meantime, please feel free to send around any initial feedback and/or questions. 

 

Thanks so much, Jane
