OpenOntologyRepository: OOR Team Conference Call - Tue 2012_03_13

This is a regular OOR Team meeting. ... please refer also to proceedings from the last team meeting at OOR/ConferenceCall_2012_02_07

Attention! ... Please note start-time of the meeting, timing this couple of weeks is fairly tricky (especially for non-US participants) - as North America has just gone into daylight saving time, Europe hasn't, and a lot of Asian countries don't do daylight saving at all!
