Hi, I'm very happy to announce our first OCCI hands-on meeting. We (the chairs) picked November 20, 2009 for our first OCCI F2F meeting. If a lot of people cannot make it: the backup date is December 4, 2009. Although we would prefer Nov. 20 over Dec. 4. This meeting will take place in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I will send around details soon. Assuming that the F2F meeting will be a full-day meeting (9am till 5pm) we could do the following during the day: 1 get together 2 hands-on working session for the OCCI specification 3 open discussions/issues walktrough 4 format/rendering discussions Goal is to get the Specification ready and to reach consensus on the the rendering/format. We will provide a dial-in for the afternoon part (3&4). Also feel free to suggest more agenda topics! Thanks to Thilo Kielmann from UvA and Andre Merzky who are helping organizing this.
