TO DO: Jamie & Stefan to prepare presentation slides 
TO DO: Schedule release review 
          
1.b V 2.0 Milestone 5  
On schedule for 9/20, including Bug Fixes and test of draggable solvers 
V 2.0 Release Features include: 
       Xtext model generator feature   
       Graphical Model Design (GUI for code generation,  Visual Editor ) 
           Bug Fixes from 1.4.1 
           Performance improvements 
           Advanced Dengue Example 
           Directionally biased mixing model 
           **Stochastic Modeling - New Solver doc. Fixes to older models 
           Draggable solver objects   
           **After Eclipse’s release we need to contact Eclipse legal re Apache 
                
2. New Documentation for 2.0 
Updates to: 
*Pubs on wiki
                *Upcoming (and recent) talks on main website 
New doc completed for: 
*Use of model generator inside of STEM (vs in the dev environment)
*Stefan’s new periodic control graph generator
*MMR model 
*Shape file graph generator, new screenshot
*Visual editor (still growing) 
*Stochastic solver 
New doc still needed for: 
*Multipopulation models
                TO DO: Jamie to prepare link and redescription on main model page; will write, send to Stefan & Judy
         
2.b.   New Demos for V2.0 
*Model builder project   
*Avian Influenza  
 
[Demos deferred until later: Ealing Measles; Polio demo; Dengue demo]    
       
3. Bugs of the week 
*400930 Deleting a graph makes models/scenario useless. Awaiting input from Alex (confirm if he checked "updated references") 
*409742 Mercator Map Logger does not export images with black borders. Pending Jamie’s check w/ Matt 
*409540 Proposal: Make solvers "first class" objects. Stefan testing
TO DO NOW: Put message on Splash page for V 2.0 stating “These projects require STEM 2.0....”
TO DO BEFORE 10/16: Change models  
368889 Enable stochastic simulations for older disease models. DONE for M5 [except for dengue, deferred as above] 
4. TODO: Stefan checking that change to random number generator for V2 does not break integration tests (or fix it)                                         
5. Talk accepted at EclipseCon. Chris will attend :-) 
6. ICSE Paper: PDF completed, Matt submitted
Notification whether accepted due January 17, 2014
TO DO: Check w/ Matt re demo submission
TO DO: Put in budget for next year, can take out if not accepted
7. Items from Participants
Stefan: Issue re Matlab, will contact Eclipse
Jamie: Werner and Kamesh are collaborating re EclipseCon India
Jamie: Will try to meet up w/ Werner tomorrow
