[aperi-dev] Future CTP Certification & SNW Interoperability Demos

[Khan M Tasinga <kmtasing@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Aperi 0.1 is CTP certified for array
discovery (SMI-S 1.0.2) and array management (SMI-S 1.1.0). By the end
of 1Q2007, the plan is to release two new versions of Aperi. Per our roadmap,
there will be the 0.2 release, focused on componentization and extensibility,
and the 0.3 release, focused on the construction of an Eclipse RCP GUI.
As such, I'd like to throw out a couple of questions:

* Short-term, how important is it for
Aperi to get its upcoming releases CTP certified?
* Long-term, how do we want to approach
CTP certification?

Also, Aperi participated, with 0.1,
in the Interoperability Demo at SNW Fall 2006 in Orlando. I believe the
next SNW is in April 2007. What are people's thoughts on the importance
of Interoperability Demo participation?
