Status OGC

The Memorandum of Understanding between OGC and OpenMI has been signed from OpenMI side.
The OATC is waiting for allocation of the time to work on becoming an OGC-standard (read all related documents and perform the required)
This allocation has to be approved by the main partners (HR, DHI, Deltares, Alterra, BAW). The OAEC is trying to get this commitment from the individual partners.
The OAEC asks the OATC what effort is needed.
Standa will send an executive summary of the OGC-documents to the OATC-members. We then will all give our opinions and estimations on the effort. At a next session we will discuss these opinions. Standa will plan a date, and also invite Roger for this session.

SDK's / GUI's

Fluid Earth SDK/Pipistrelle

There is a working SDK available now. No real Fortran examples available yet, but simple examples are working.
Right now, the Pipistrelle is developed.
The OATC is invited to look it the code. After Adrian's holiday, he will work nearly full time, and will provide a version at the end of september. The OATC can use Pipistrelle earlier (half of september).
At at a next session, Adrian will give an introduction to the Fluid Earth SDK (webex like session).

OATC C# SDK/GUI

Deltares indeed is using the current OATC SDK. Things work fine, but the models for now only have simple id-based input en output exchange items. Things will become more complex in the next two months.

Oatc Java SDK/GUI

Other issues

Johan van Asselt has created new OpenMI.org pages. Standa will send us a link and ask Johan to send a password, so that we can have a look at it.

Robert Szczepanek, the developer from Poland is a private member now from the Association. We can invite him to the OATC. We could arrange a specific session on his Python work.
Standa will ask him wether he would like that.

Web based model integration meeting in Birmingham. Dan Dan Cornford (Aston Univ. Birmingham) was asking about the latest version of the java code, to do some work on the web services possibilities of OpenMI.

(Left from previous meeting: an OATC email address was suggested, something like oatc@openmi.org or technical@openmi.org. Standa will contact the OAEC in that question.)

Next meetings

Thursday Sept 1., 14:30 CET - 16:30 CET: introduction Fluid Earth SDK
TBD: Session on OGC actions/planning
