The last OATC meeting was about the configuration interfaces. We had a very exiting discussion about differences between the link approach and the chained approach. At a subsequent web meeting is was decided to go for the chained approach. There is no formal minutes from the OATC meeting.

Minutes: It was accepted that there is no minutes from the last meeting

2. Maintenance and support

...

David Maidment recently wrote in a mail to Roger. "I think the OpenMI conceptual model is presently contained in Appendix G or somewhere else near the end of your large manual.  I wonder if this model could be restated in a separate document so that reviewers of it don't have to extract the key points out of a huge software engineering manual.  I am thinking of something that could be read and understood by your hydrologic science colleagues at CHE, the scientists in our ChyMP group, etc.". Most likely he did not know about the wiki, which make me think if the wiki exposed sufficiently on the official openmi web,
