Re: [tosca] TOSCA section for Cloud Standards Book

Neil-  Thanks.  I'll follow up with you directly.

      

      Carol, Paul, All-  I shall report back to the TC as the book
      advances.

      

      Best,

      Alex

Hi folks

        

        

        
I specialize in publishing Cloud standards and innovations,
          in laymans terms: CloudBestPractices.net

        

        

        
I volunteer to help, and also promote the book too - I
          agree, TOSCA at the heart of a book like this would be very
          popular and important.

        

        

        
Regards, Neil.

Hi Alex,

                
 

                
I think this is great news. Thanks so much for
                  bringing this forward. In fact, any cloud standards
                  book should absolutely cover TOSCA, given its
                  importance and growing traction. Honestly, if it
                  wasn't so short term an effort, I'd volunteer, but
                  can't this month at all. 

                
 

                
That said; volunteer(s) please step forward ASAP!
                  Also, it would be great to get a draft to the TC for
                  comments, even if due to time constraints it is only a
                  day or two window. Alex, if your publisher won't allow
                  public posting on Kavi, I could distribute the draft
                  privately by email to all TC members, if that helps.
                

                
 

                
Thanks,

TCers-

                    
 

                    
I'm working with some folks putting together a
                      book on cloud standards, to be published by
                      Wiley.  We'd like to include a section on TOSCA,
                      so I'd like to check:

                    
 

                    
* Does anyone strongly object?

                    
* Does anyone volunteer to write it?

                    
 

                    
It is a pretty short turnaround time -- 1 week. 
                      On the other hand it is very short, 2-3 pages.

                    
 

                    
In the absence of any yesses to the above
                      questions I can produce this. 
                    

                    
But someone who has been able to be more active
                      in the TC of late would be preferred!

                    
 

                    
Best regards,

                    
Alex
