Agenda & Minutes :
1. Welcome to Jon and news from USA
- Presentation round.
Since this is the first OATC meeting where Jon participates, we should start off with at short presentation round, where each person shortly presents him selves.
Everyone presented them selves nicely..
- Any news from USA.
We kindly ask Jon to provide any info from USA about the use of OpenMI.
Jon explained shortly about the general idea of using OpenMI as a technology for making data available for models. Specifically in connection with the development of CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS). However, at this point is is not finally decided if OpenMI will be used or if OpenMI will be used in combination with other technologies. (the Earth modeling system is another candidate). There are some worries that OpenMI, because it is mainly developed by commercial companies that it will not be truly open. Other worries are performance and the ability to support parallel computing. A joint USA and EU workshop is currently being planned (most likely to take place in April 2008). Hopefully some of these issues can be discussed at this workshop.
2. Planning transatlantic corporation
Due to the distance between USA and Europe, it will not be possible for Jon to be physically present at the OATC meetings in Europe. What is the best way to deal with this? Some meeting to be held in USA, using skype during the OATC meetings, other suggestions...
Jon expressed that he is happy to participate in the OATC web meetings. However, traveling to Europe to participate in meetings isproblematic. We will investigate if it could be possible to arrange some of the OATC meeting to be located in USA.
3. planning next OATC meeting and the period from now until the meeting.

- Iterative development model
When we developed OpenMI 1.0 we followed at nice iterative development approach. One iteration was only completed when all unit tests were running. I (Jan) think that we should start using this approach again. This implies that the GUI, the SDK, and even some models must be kept updated with OpenMI standard developments. Adrian has recently reorganized the source code on source forge. This means that some changes must be made in order to make sure that the source code for verison 2 is at the stage where we last left it. We should have this in place by Tuesday next week also, which will allow everyone to prepare a bit before the meeting.
Jan will prepare a list on the OpenMI WIKI where each participant can sign up for one particular use case to be elaborated in more details. These use cases should be completed at latest on Wednesday January 30th. (see use cases)
Stef will update the newly rearranged source code on source forge, with the latest OpenMI 2.0 developments. (at latest on Wednesday January 30th)
4. Task status
All tasks are listed on source forge. see. http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmi
We skipped the task review. At the OATC meeting one week ago this list was updated.
5. Any other business
6. Next web meeting
