Attendees: Ayla, Flavio, Guilherme, Satish (for Jun's team in NEC),
Dejan, Jun, and Stuart.

Notes taker Dejan Milojicic.  

> 1. Update on testing interoperability

UFCG put up their endpoint (Congratulations Ayla, Flavio, and
Guilherme!), they will try to have it up all the time, occasionally,
they will take it down to put up the newer version. Others, please
comments. Satish already tried to access it and he was not able
establish the connection, "Connection Timeout" was the error. UFCG will
check if there are any issues with firewall. 

Softricity: finalizing the component model test plan, testing components
themselves. Updating the test doc and will check in the code for the
three components. He will call out all the CDL for the exact tests to
test component models as well as for three. Stuart also plans t put an
EPR, the time frame is a week or a week and a half, end of the next
week. Also hard to put things outside of the firewall.

NEC: in the process of exposing EPR, taking a little bit of time since
they already submitted a request to open up the port from NEC. Princeton
guys are reviewing request and evaluating the against the NEC policy.
Hopefully they will have it by the end of the next week. They should
have something by the end of the next week. For the CDL testing, Steve
and Jun have an agreement on some clarifying issues with the namespace
and Jun will adjust the test case for that.  

HP: Steve is out, so no update on HP today.

(wrt namespaces that Jun is changing, which option) UFCG has made an
implementation according to specification. They can make changes as long
as they know which option. It would be good to know when Jun will change
it. Jun will fix this case on import so that it is applied only to a
couple of element. Jun will do this by

> 2. OGSA and CDDLM

Jun provided the presentation describing CDL implementation for BLAST.
Neither Jun nor Dejan will be able to attend the OGSA meeting today.
Next week is F2F. Jun will attend and Dejan. 

> 3. Planning GGF17 in Tokyo

It looks like only Jun will attend.

> 4. Various

A side announcement: Component model has been officially made a public
document: GFD 65. Congratulations to Stuart. Other documents are in the
funnel. Hopefully 

Actions by end of next week we may have two other endpoints by NEC and
Softricity.
