o Document Process
  - Request is for executive summary
    . No new material
    . 1-pager
    . Peter volunteered
  - Try to respond within 2 weeks
o Java language binding
  - Peter volunteered to review
  - No big changes between 0.6.2 and 0.6.5
  - 0.7 coming soon
    . Changes JobTemplate and JobInfo from classes to interfaces
  - How to handle NO_RUSAGE during wait(ANY)?
    . Should not be an exception -- deprecate NoResourceUsageException
    . Instead, return a JobInfo without rusage
    . getResourceUsage() returns null in that case

  - C, Objective-C, and Java API's
o Going forward
  - DRMAA and C binding are done
  - Java is almost done
  - Work on IDL binding should continue as long as feasible
