Aperi Community Teleconference & Proposal

Received this message from Phil Mills, SNIA Secretary, detailing Aperi teleconference. The proposal, available at Eclipse website, looks plain vanilla. I still don't get Aperi's value proposition above and beyond WBEM, CIM, and SMI-S.

All SNIA Members,

SNIA and the Aperi Community have agreed to collaborate to advance the SNIA's SMI-S Architecture. The details of this formal alliance are currently being developed in the SNIA Strategic Alliances Committee. The Aperi Community has scheduled a teleconference to explain their program to interested SNIA members and provide pertinent information on how to participate. A slide deck is being created for this teleconference and will be made available to SNIA members prior to the call.

The following is the invitation from Aperi.

Phil Mills, Secretary of SNIA
