Re: The Business of Building Clouds

I think, it depends on which cloud solution you have in mind. If you
see a cloud service as a provider of resources, all those bodies
provide or are working in any of the components. In the case of OGF,
its role is on the "grid part" of the virtualization (http://www.ogf.org/gf/group_info/view.php?group=gridvirt-wg

), that is the remote interfaces for accessing and federating the
sites, while the rest of bodies focus on components of the internal
virtualization solution.
