Meeting minutes from April 18 phone conference

Attendees:
    Hrabri, Andreas, Roger, Peter, Dan

- Roger agreed to take minutes

- April 4th meeting minutes accepted without changes
  (noted that it would be desirable to have attendees listed)

- Hrabri to write cover letter for spec submission and
  provide to Area Directors

- Peter to submit cosmetic spec issues to Hrabri

- Peter suggested that spec be reviewed to ensure
  that the key words (i.e., "REQUIRED") are used
  correctly.

- SGE experiences doc scheduled for completion on Friday

- Agreed that drmaa_wait doc should specify the legal
  jobStates (Queued, Running, Failed, Finished), and
  should explicitly describe behavior instead of
  referring the reader to the POSIX wait3 semantics.

- Discussion about drmaa_wait in the context of multiple
  threads.
  + If 6 jobs are wait'ed (SESSION_ANY) by 6 threads,
    and one job finishes (or fails), one thread succeeds
    and the others continue to wait.

  + If there are 5 jobs in the session, and 6 threads
    call drmaa_wait (SESSION_ANY), 5 waits will succeed
    and one will fail (empty session).

- No drmaa-wg representation at GGF17 (Japan)
