Action item 1: Dougal - send out an email with the cut off date for nominations, and a link to a page with current nominees.
2) CellML API - update
Progress:
- Andrew: some work done on the TeLICeMS bracket problem, which seems to be fixed but will require some testing.
- Andrew: Worked on the build system. 64bit Mac problems now fixed. All platforms are building. API binary packages are being put up on sourceforge.
3) Repository contributions - update
Progress:
- Dougal: Hanne has been working on the hepatology section. The Kummer et al 2000 model was updated with session files and an exposure.
4) PMR2 development - update
Progress:
- Tommy: working on the OAuth plugin for Plone. Looked at other OAuth systems. Working on itegrating the Python oauth2 library into Plone.
Discussion:
- There was a discussion about OAuth, access control, etc.
- Randall: it could be worth looking at alternative designs that decouple the server side presentation layer from the webservices.
- Tommy: many of the tasks that require authentication are deeply tied to the Plone authorization system.
Action item 2: Randall - email Alan Garny to see if he wants to test out the webservices.
5) COMBINE membership
- Randall: would there be a way to avoid duplication of effort to get CellML & FieldML as core COMBINE standards? Is SBML spatial part of COMBINE?
