Dear all, OGF 42 is planned to take place in London in September. I think this would be be a nice opportunity to bring the DRMAA activities back in sync again. This relates especially to implementations, language bindings and the OCCI-DRMAA project.
Who could imagine to be there ? Best regards, Peter.
