	Attendees: KenBaclawski, MikeBennett (joined late), MikeDean, PeterYim (chair/scribe)    (42D9)
	 == Proceedings: ==    (42DA)
	[7:08] PeterYim: == discussion on what we should focus on at the OOR-Hackathon n.05 (slated for next Tuesday)    (42DB)
	[7:15] PeterYim: ref. http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OOR/ConferenceCall_2013_12_03#nid41WY    (42DC)
	(a) ontologies to support API4KBs and OntoIOp by Tara Athan and Elisa Kendall 
            - see: http://www.omgwiki.org/API4KB/doku.php?id=api4kb_ontologies    (41WZ)
	(b) the OOR API and its current realisation in OntoIOp    (41X0)
	(c) integrating, or providing the API to incorporate OMV (extensions thereof; or even some generic set of metadata 
            for an ontology) to an OOR (actually, open or non-open.)    (41X1)
	(d) federation    (42CX)
	(e) ... more ideas?    (41X2)    (42DD)
	[7:18] PeterYim: Ken: possibilities (e) debug why the SOCoP-OOR is down, (f) debug when the O&M ontology ran 
        into parsing error with the SOCoP-OOR    (42DE)
	[7:27] PeterYim: [consensus] Ken / Mike / Peter: let's do this next Tuesday (Dec-10) (e) & (f) for the OOR-Hackathon n.05    (42DF)
	[7:31] PeterYim: [action] Peter will try to restart the SOCoP-OOR (which is down again now) ... or restore the vm image ... [done. system rebooted, and the SOCoP-OOR is operational again.--ppy/2013.12.08 ]    (42DG)
	[7:32] KenBaclawski: [re next Tuesday's Hackathon n.05 session (which is supposedly co-chaired by Ken & Till)] If Till 
        attends the session, then it would be helpful if he could tell us about his experience with mirroring the SOCoP ontologies 
        especially with regard to the issue of federation. However, the session would not be addressing federation as one of its objectives.    (42DH)
	[7:33] KenBaclawski: I will write up (e) and (f) on the Hackathon wiki page.    (42DI)
	[7:29] PeterYim: == discussion on who or whether we will still stand up a bioportal-based OOR instance when the next 
        revision level of the vm image comes out    (42DJ)
	[7:29] PeterYim: if at all, I suggest that it should be done on AWS (the amazon cloud)    (42DK)
	[7:40] KenBaclawski: Would it make sense to try basing OOR on the OntoHub code rather than on BioPortal code?    (42DL)
	[7:48] PeterYim: another possibility is to cancel the Hackathon n.05 session, and use the Tue Dec-10 meeting to discuss 
        the "basing OOR on the OntoHub code" possibility    (42DM)
	[7:48] PeterYim: [action] Ken will ping Till about this    (42DN)
	[7:51] PeterYim: [consensus] unless we feel we need another session, we will pause after the Dec-10 session, and put the full force of the OOR team to support OntologySummit2014 ... that means, after the Dec-10 OOR meeting, the next one will be in ~May-2014 (of course, there may be joint OOR-OntologySummit activities in the interim, while OntologySummit2014 is in session.)    (42DO)
	[7:54] PeterYim: Ken will advise Peter on next Tuesday's session agenda (so he can create the session page for it) by this Friday, hopefully.    (42DP)
