[drmaa-wg] Feb 21st 2006 Meeting Minutes

[Peter Troeger]

Dear all,

the results of the phone conference are now reflected in the GridForge
tracker items, by comment and status changes. There is only one pending
issue left, which needs some additional note from Dan in order to get a
final solution.

Best regards,
Peter.
