Many years with DOD. What contractors do is use their money on
patentable ideas (that is the research)(and copyright material) and
government money make the patent thing for the government use . And
since the government, by law, can use any US patent they do not worry if
the contractor (or someone else) has a patent for items needed for a
contract. It is very fine line of "funded by the government contract"
or "funded by the government contractor".
Anyway this is out of scope for the PWG (the same as projectors and
displays??)

I disagree with Ira statement; tech people will want a definition of

where to provide a definition for cloud printing (scan, copy), it is the
PWG that provides printing related cloud definitions.
(The government does not have patents and contractors that work on
government contracts can not patent work funded directly by the
contract. (That based on 15 years of research work for government
contractors.) Copyright fall in the same area. I.e. a government photo
can be copyrighted by the government. All work done by and directly
funded by the government is in the public domain.)
I guess you've never worked for the DoD then? In a former life I used to
be a government contractor and copyright and patent issues were quite
apparent, even 20 years ago...

In general you can't assume that any data or document from the
government is not copyrighted since contractors often hold joint
copyright (and patents, etc.) with the government, and there are more
contractors than civil service...
In any case, based on Ira's statement I'm thinking we'll want to
reference the NIST definitions and describe how Cloud Imaging fits in...

NIST is a US agency and, as so, work products are not copyrighted (I
believe by law). In fact their top page on cloud computing has the
following statement.
"This material is public domain although attribution to NIST is
requested. It may be freely duplicated and translated."
So maybe we should ask a different question. Do we want to (very)
tightly align our definition with content from NIST? I vote yes because
it shows coherence/alignment/??? with existing or other organization.
Note that the NIST definition and the one I propose are very high level
and interpretation for "Imaging" is what is are address.

p.s. If I can find the contact information I will send a note.

Sorry Mike, I skipped over the part where you like the substance. So
I will send a note NIST folks.

Your right about the "copying" but that can be addressed at a later
date. For the moment; is this the type of definition that was intended?
If not, can you or others suggest a couple to sentence on a definition?
I understand your point on 'Imaging' versus 'Printing/Printer'; but can
we put together a Print/Printing first at then see how to scope it for
Imaging?

Glen,
While I like the substance of the definition, I am uneasy about copying
their words like this - it would be good to contact the authors to get
their written permission so that we credit them appropriately in the
cloud model spec.
Also, since we *are* doing Cloud Imaging, we probably want the
definition to use Cloud Imaging instead of Cloud Printing and Imaging
Device instead of Printer.
Thanks!

Based on the article referenced below I modified in an attempt to create
a definition for cloud printing. I thought it could be reviewed to see
if could be useful definition. In most cases, I literal changed
"computing" to "printing" (or printer). I also added a few print
related items.
