Open Grid Forum (OGF)
Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI)
The Open Grid Forum (OGF) is a community of users, developers, and vendors leading the global standardization effort for grid computing. The OGF community consists of thousands of individuals in industry and research, representing over 400 organizations in more than 50 countries. Together they work to accelerate adoption of grid computing worldwide because they belive grids will lead to new discoveries, new opportunities, and better business practices.
The work of OGF is carried out through community-initiated working groups, which develop standards and specifications in cooperation with other leading standards organizations, software vendors, and users. OGF is funded through its Organizational Members, Including technology companies and academic and government research institutions. OGF hosts several events each year to further develop grid-related specifications and use cases and to share best practices.

Cloud Standards Coordination Overview and Contributing Organizations |
|
Cloud-standards.org is a Wiki site for Cloud Standards Coordination. The goal of the wiki is to document the activities of the various SDOs working on Cloud Standards.
Cloud-standards.org is an initiative for editing and sharing a general cloud computing standardization positioning, in which more relevant cloud standardization initiatives can be seen and related. The first informal proposal of the positioning can be seen at cloud standards positioning.

The Open Grid Forum Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) |
|
The Open Grid Forum Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) working group will deliver an API specification for remote management of cloud computing infrastructure, allowing for the development of interoperable tools for common tasks including deployment, autonomic scaling and monitoring. The specification will be all high level functionality required for the life-cycle management of virtual machines (or workloads) running on virtualization technologies (or containers) supporting service elasticity.
