Hi, 

these are short meeting notes from todays call.
Next call will be scheduled next Thursday, 3pm CEST.

Most important point:  posted issues will be
discussed/finalized on next weeks call.

Cheers, Andre.


  - Participants:

    - Shantenu Jha
    - Andre Merzky
    - Pascal Kleijer
    - Thilo Kielmann

  - SAGA and Naregi:
    
    - since Pascal joined, we chatted about NAREGI and the
      MW stack
    - SAGA uptake in NAREGI seems unlikely unless the NAREGI
      stack is supported.  Otherwise, only for parts not
      conflicting with the stack, e.g. streaming
    - the current SAGA implementations (OMII and VU/LSU)
      should make it simple to support the NAREGI stack
    - TODO: SHANTENU,ANDRE: approach Satoshis about
      commitment for NAREGI bindings for the SAGA
      implemenations, at GGF


  - Document Business
    
    - Andre: did not follow up yet with the latest response
      from Greg about the UC doc - TODO
    - no response yet from Greg about the REQ doc - need to
      be followed up
    - editing the API doc slowly progressing, discuss at
      next weeks call


  - open issues

    - apart from Graeme no responses
    - TODO ANDRE: follow up with the issues Graeme answered
    - discuss/finalize posted issues during next call


  - AOB

    - we discussed the workshop organization for GGF17 -
      some TODOs distributed for following up with speakers
      etc - see separate mail


  - next call will be scheduled for next Thursday, 3:00 PM
    CEST


Cheers, Andre.
