Amalgam
=======
Since Richard Gronback left the Amalgamation project there's currently no lead nor committer to continue this work. Peter and Cédric Brun volunteered ealier this day as an reaction of a call by Ed Merks. Other volunteers might follow. These new committers will eventually vote for a project lead and shape the future of Amalgamation conjointly.

- Amalgam could be a place to establish a common set of modeling facilities actual distributions could be built upon. Different parties could then reuse existing work such as a working build-infrastructure - Certain demands on quality (such as documentation) every distribution has to fulfill might ensure increasing acceptance of Amalgamation in general - One of these specific distributions based on Amalgamation could embody the "oAW distribution" - Other parties (e.g. SAP) might be interested in such a collaboration, too. Peter will contact these after his holiday

Milestone planning
==================
Achim had been asked to hold some of his patches until the service releases are out. Today, he asked for the status so he can continue his work.

- This Friday, 7th there will be the service release
- A branch for each oAW component will be established and new features will go into the head of trunk - Achim then will apply his changes containing the incremental generation
- Jan and Achim will coordinate Achim's pending patches of MWE
- In future, the release planning of oAW components such as Xpand, MWE and Xtext will be synchonized and communicated more visible

Migration documentation
=======================
In the last weeks, Ekke gathered a valuable amount of information about the migration from oAW 4.3 to the current Eclipse projects in his blog. Other bloggers did so as well.

- As a result of the conference call Peter created a wiki page to collect these resources at a single place (http://wiki.eclipse.org/OAW_Working_Group/Migration_Guide_oAW_4.3.1_to_oAW_5.0 ) - Ekke will outline his work over there with links and short descriptions each
- Heiko will integrate this page into the website of the working group
- Documentation of each affected component (Xpand, MWE, etc.) should refer to the website of the working group
