From Jan: For some reason I like to have a full copy of OpenMI SourceForge repository on my local disk. However, currently this is about 4GB data (takes forever to download). One of the problems is the HEC model data that for some reason is checked into the repository. Could we somehow remove these data files and possibly also review if some of the branches are outdated and can be removed.

6.5 OpenMI workshop at the BAW

There will be an OpenMI workshop at the BAW in Hamburg on the 31. October 2008. The aim of the workshop is to encourage modellers and developers in Germany to join the OpenMI community. The BAW is interested in finding partners with a strong interest in 2D or 3D models.

We sent the potential attendants a questionnaire. The feedback to the questionnaire displayed a technical interest and can be discussed with the developers as well as with the dissemination committee. The most demanded question was how to make an existing model OpenMI compliant. Thus, we and the participants would appreciate OpenMI developers as presenters.

The following draft of the agenda gives you an idea.
09:00 Welcome
09:10 Potential of Integrated Modelling (with the OpenMI)
09:30 Usecases of Integrated Modelling
10:00 How to make models OpenMI compliant
10:30 Coffee break
11:00 Discussion: Building up an OpenMInded community
12:30 End of the official part of the workshop;
         - Lunch (optional)
13:30 Bilateral Talks (optional)
15:00 End of the optional part of the workshop
