OCEAN provides 4 services to foster collaboration between European and Japanese cloud computing projects: 1) an Open Cloud Directory that registers open source cloud project outcomes, 2) the ETICS testing and quality verification service, 3) an Open Cloud Interoperability Framework and Roadmap, and 4) Open Cloud Events like workshops and webinars. The services aim to boost innovation in open source cloud computing.
