[Obi-devel] Important: Changes to some OBI Calls during August

[James M. <ma...@eb...>]

Dear All,

(Fulfilling an action item from today's dev call) I'm emailing to let
everyone who was not at the OBI workshop last week about the agreed change
to some of the branch, developer and coordinators calls during August.  It
was agreed at the meeting that from the 30th July for FOUR WEEKS we would
carry out use case evaluation during the normal time allocated for
dev/coord call and during biomaterial branch calls.  Please check the OBI
Google calendar for specific times as I've edited this to reflect the
changes.

After the 4 weeks are over we will return to the previously arranged call
structure.  Briefly, the motivation behind this is so that we can identify
any cross-branch issues and resolve them and identify any possible issues
with coverage and use.  To that end, it would be useful if OBI developers
from ANY BRANCH attend at least some of these calls so that we can perform
this in a cross-branch manner, i.e. this is not specific to one branch it
will evaluate all.  At least one of the useful outcomes from this exercise
will be that it enables us to see how plausible an OBI 1.0 release is.

I can't recall the decision use case we said we'd start with, I think it
may have been Richard's example
