6.1 Meeting plan for 2009
I have proposed dates for the OATC meeting for 2009. Please see the OATC Calendar
Minutes:
The proposed dates were accepted except the meeting from April 28-30 2009, which was moved to April 21-23 2009. The OATC wiki calendar has been updated to reflect the agreed dates for meetings.
6.3 Submitted OpenMI compliance XML's
Since last meeting some XML has been submitted. See
6.4 Sourceforge SVN cleanup
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 Could we somehow remove these data files and possibly also review if some of the branches are outdated and can be removed.
Minutes:
Gena will create new my openMI open source version control repository on source forge and move the HEC files to this repository
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.
Minutes:
The following PDF contains the feedback concerning the questionnaire and a draft of the agenda: Workshop Proposals
Roger Moore, Jan Gregersen and somebody from Deltares will attend the workshop on behalf of the OpenMI Association. They and Peter Schade will try to agree on an agenda until 19. September 2008.
Peter Schade
6.6 Review of submitted InfoWorks OpenMI 1.4 xml files
Adrian has on behalf of Wallingford Software submitted xml files for InfoWorks according the the OpenMI 1.4 standard. Formally, the OATC should review these files and make recommendations to the OAEC for accepting or rejecting the components as officially OpenMI compliant. The files are attached to this agenda: InfoWorksXMLZipFile
Minutes:
OATC decided to recommend that the submitted xml's are accepted
