Open Group Cloud Work Group

The Open Group Cloud Work Group exists to create a common understanding among buyers and suppliers of how enterprises of all sizes and scales of operation can include Cloud Computing technology in a safe and secure way in their architectures to realize its significant cost, scalability and agility benefits. It includes some of the industry's leading cloud providers and end-user organizations, collaborating on standard models and frameworks aimed at eliminating vendor lock-in for enterprises looking to benefit from cloud products and services.

We are committed to work with other groups with similar aims. At the outset, it is our intent to work with:

• The Cloud Security Alliance
• The Open Cloud Manifesto
• The Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum
• CloudCamp
• The Cloud Computing Use Cases Discussion Group

We are open to working with other relevant organizations.

The direction of the group is determined by Open Group members, but you don't have to be a member to participate - everyone interested in cloud computing can join the discussions.

To get involved, just subscribe to the cloudsters mailing list. You will be sent a password so that you can log in.

If your company is already a Member of The Open Group, please send mail to the administrator to request to be added to the Work Group.
