since Andreas has other tasks

> 2. DRMAA 2 Draft 1 - Individual feedback

- some people are still in the process of checking it
- was passed around internally at Intel
- next meeting agenda will include specific points from the document

- Question regarding Session persistence
	- SGE saves session name as part of job meta-data
	- No further storage of session data
	- Potential problem with lots of core dumps
- Question regarding Java DRMAA source code licensing
	- Sun code has appropriate license
	- GridWay sources are also an option
- Question regarding explicit resource targeting
	- Intentionally avoided for the current DRMAA version
	- "State the needs and let the DRM decide"
	- Might be no longer appropriate
	- Already mentioned in DRMAA2 draft 1
