The OCF event specification is at revision 1.4 and is in the opencf cvs
repository.  Check out 

http://www.opencf.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/specs/event/Event.api?rev=1.4

The last changes to this document were in June, 2003.  A sample
implementation of the specification was done as the spec was being
developed and can be found at

http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/osdlcluster/osdlcluster_20020819.tgz

I have not seen other implementations of this spec, but that does not
mean they do not exist.

There is some momentum in the linux-ha development community as well as
at OSDL with an open implementation of the SA Forum Event Service API. 
The SA Forum AIS interfaces are gaining community acceptance.

Alan or Lars may be able to shed more light on the OCF specifications.
