 * Brian will shift the fortnightly meeting to Wednesdays 9am Eastern, 2pm UK time, to avoid conflicts in the US, and email the mailing list with confirmation.
 * Recruitment:
 * Tanya Gray has been offered the technical role, and should start sometime around January 24th (tbc).

 * Brian to check that PostgreSQL, Maven, Tomcat, Ant and Subversion are not a problem (done)
 * Ryan to create specs for the duplication process
 * WP2 Expanding journal range
 * OUP next steps
 * Apparently despite the initial very positive meeting with OUP, Lee-Ann’s subsequent meeting was less so. Elizabeth to meet with Lee-Ann and find out more detail. Elizabeth and Brian to then look at how to approach them regarding moving forward with selected journals at one of the levels.
 * WP4 Interoperability
 * Biomed Central next steps:
 * Brian to set up a meeting with BMC, to include a call with the US for any follow up questions etc. – aiming for next week.
 * We need to create example workflows for authors, BMC and Dryad. Ryan to supply an existing example.
 * If possible, the BMC modifications will be released early (i.e. late Feb / beginning of March). Todd/Ryan to discuss further and advise.
 * PLoS next steps
 * Elizabeth to contact PLoS with regard to moving forward and giving us some assistance with Editorial Manager (also possibly required for OUP).
 * WP7 Dissemination
 * Brian to propose dates and locations for the workshops, and circulate these for feeback within the next week.
