The purpose of the Cloud Plugfest is for vendors to bring their implementations of CDMI, OCCI and other cloud-based standards to test, identify, and fix bugs in a collaborative setting with the goal of providing a forum in which companies can develop interoperable products.

The SNIA, along with other plugfest sponsors, provides and supports the networks and infrastructure for the plugfest. Participants work together in advance to plan and define the testing process plugfest objectives. If you would like to participate in plugfest planning activities or offer to host or sponsor a plugfest, please contact Mark Calson or Tom Mancuso.

Plugfest participants sign a confidentiality agreement so that companies can feel secure in bringing unannounced and/or unreleased products for testing.

Besides the opportunity for testing the Cloud Plugfest offers participants a chance to work with and gain in-depth knowledge from the experts developing the CDMI  and OCCI specifications, including  support from other developers.  Don't miss this great opportunity to accelerate your  Cloud development!
