Mountain View Alliance

Henry,

Sorry if I ruffled any feathers! Based on meetings/conferences I have 
attended lets say that the more hardware focused groups (PICMG, SCOPE 
etc.) seems to have a larger presence ;-)

With that said, Ed Bizari and I will engage with MVA to promote CGL. There 
is a conference in March - we will likely present a paper on the state of 
LF and CGL.

Ed will coordinate with Glenn over the next few days.

Thanks
jjg

Ai All,
 
The MVA is in fact not dominated by HW centric folks but if it appears to 
be it shouldn't
Half of the MVA SIGs are in fact SW centric groups such as SCOPE, SAForum, 
TMF (new), LF (inactive) and OCAF (inactive). 
The MVA would welcome a more active LF since our goal is to optimize the 
effectiveness of our member SIGs which are in Open Specifications and Open 
Source SW.
 
We welcome and look forward to an active involvement by LF which we 
believe will result in a more successful Open Source / Open Specification 
ecosystem.

Peter/Glen, 

We are pretty active with MVA. We are members and Ed Bizari (PTI's VP of 
Sales and Mkt) attends most all the events; I have done a few as well. I 
will discuss this with Ed and I believe we (PTI) can engage and keep CGL 
in front of MVA. 

I agree with Peters observations. The MVA (aka Consortium of Consortiums) 
is pretty much dominated by HW centric folks. But, it would be good to 
keep engaged with them. 

I will post another response next Tuesday. 

Cheers 
John Grana

Glenn,
I had attended most MVA conf calls through the end of August, haven't 
been on since due to travel but am on mailing list.  However, I was only 
representing OCAF and didn't speak for LF.  MVA CEC planning is hot and 
heavy right now and if we want to inject LF/CGL content we need to 
decide ASAP.

However, from an attention-getting viewpoint, from my experience at MVA 
CEC earlier this year I didn't think we got much attention.  Most of the 
audience didn't seem to care much.  This is NOT because they dislike 
CGL, but because much of it was HW component people that don't care 
about any OS.  But if we could come up with something 'cheap' (or 
better, free as in beer) fine by me.

I'm not saying I want to be the LF/CGL rep to MVA, in fact, I'm trying 
to get myself off of it for OCAF (as it is Marketing and that isn't my 
primary focus.)
