Present: Kris (minutes), Slavek, Jens, Nikolai, Steen
C++ clients PVSS integration: Still no progress from Pep on the PVSS driver. He was supposed to start on the CMW begin of October but the previous driver took longer than expected.
API for Motif applications: First approach finished. Commands are implemented as set(). There was a question whether this is used at all.
RDA port on Windows: Jens is waiting for new version from Nikolai. He will port client tests and run them so that this subject can be closed.
Biscoto CMW server: progressing. Ana Guerrero is operational and can generate new Biscoto servers. Stephen Jackson should connect to the client API so that internal BI protocol can be dropped and CMW used instead.
Logging: We should try to have first approach working in a week time
