-The Standards Working Group (SWG) oversees the adoption, dissemination, and administration of Open Modeling Foundation standards for access, documentation, reusability, and interoperability. It proposes standards to be reviewed, revised, and approved by the OMF Members Council. The SWG works with Administrative Coordinator to communicate proposed and adopted OMF standards to OMF member organizations and other stakeholders, and solicit input about proposed standards from the modeling community. In coordination with the Certification Working Group, it helps OMF member (and other) code repositories implement OMF standards for access, discoverability, and recognition of model developers who implement OMF best practice standards.

 The Certification Working Group (CWG) develops and administers programs to certify model code that meets OMF standards for modeling best practices, and officially recognize model developers who apply these standards. CWG activities include developing and administering a community-wide program for model code peer review, establishing metrics for standards compliance, creating and assigning digital certification badges that follow guidelines being developed by the National Information Standards Organization (NISO). The CWG helps OMF member (and other) code repositories to ensure that models meeting OMF standards are clearly identified and developers who create standards-based models are publicly recognized. The CWG coordinates collaborative efforts with journals, funding agencies, societies, institutions/labs, other software/modeling consortia, and professional bodies to disseminate and administer OMF standards across the community of modeling science, and to promote recognition of OMF standards.

 The Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) helps OMF member organizations reach and train next generation scholars and ensure proactive outreach to groups and nationalities that are underrepresented in modeling science. Depending on available resources, it may develop and deploy educational and training materials, organize workshops, symposia, clinics, and other promotional or engagement events to disseminate OMF standards and help modeling scientists meet those standards. The EOWG coordinates with the SWG to ensure that standards adopted by the OMF are supported by appropriate training and educational programs, and accessible via the OMF Science Gateway. The EOWG coordinates with the OMF Early Career Scholars to develop programs to support early-career scientists. Depending on available resources, such programs may include scholarships to attend trainings in standards-based modeling or presenting standards-based modeling research at professional meetings.

 The Cyberinfrastructure Working Group (CYWG) coordinates development and management of the OMF Science Gateway, an online platform for collaborative governance and standards. CYWG works to to identify, develop, and enhance tools and processes that lower the technical barriers towards adoption of OMF standards and facilitate their use by modeling scientists. CYWG staff assist the EOWG in developing online training modules and making them available on the OMF Science Gateway.

 The Early Career Scholars (ECSWG) helps the Open Modeling Foundation to support student and early career development. The ECSWG is
 open to any student enrolled in an institution of higher learning (e.g., college or university) or early career scholar (recent graduate).

+
+## Dec 10, 2025 8:00 AM GMT+1
+
+Attendees:
+Tati Micheletti, Takuya Iwanaga, Pedro Almeida, Vitor Hirata Sanches, Zhu Zhiyi, Mahnaz Ahmadi
+
+### OMF Meeting in Adelaide
+
+Takuya provided a recap of the recent meeting.
+
+- A highlight of the discussion was Physics-Informed AI (Neural Networks).
+
+- The group discussed the mechanics of how these methods work in practice.
+
+### Dublin Hackathon
+
+Pedro is interested in co-leading the event.
+
+- Zhu Zhiyi offered to help with preparation, though she is unlikely to attend in person.
+- Funding for Pedro to attend is currently uncertain (see Action Items).
+- Planning will primarily take place via the online document to facilitate asynchronous collaboration. If specific planning meetings are required, Tati can assist in setting them up.
+
+### "Awesome List" and Website Resources
+
+- A link to the "Awesome List" will be added to the minutes to encourage collaboration. Please add to the list any interesting and helpful material you have crossed paths with.
+
+- [https://github.com/openmodelingfoundation/awesome-modeling-practices](https://github.com/openmodelingfoundation/awesome-modeling-practices) 
+- Pedro will lead (with Tati’s assistance) a new section in the Awesome List dedicated to AI-guided science, envisioning a "How-To" guide with a focus on coding.
+- Tati will provide AI Lecture material to kick-start this section.
+- There is a need to clarify how these materials are included on the official website (see Action Items).
+
+### Next Meeting
+
+Proposed for the end of March 2026.
+
+- 8:00 AM CET was agreed upon as a suitable time by those present.
+- Tati will circulate a Doodle poll. If you wish to join but this time is problematic, please contact Tati directly.
+
+### Action items
+
+1. **HACKATHON:** Tati will check with Charlotte to see if OMF can support funding for the event for Pedro to attend.
+
+2. **MINUTES:** Tati will send minutes including a specific section for Hackathon discussion and the link to the "Awesome List": [https://github.com/openmodelingfoundation/awesome-modeling-practices](https://github.com/openmodelingfoundation/awesome-modeling-practices)
+
+3. **WEBSITE:** Tati will ask Charlotte and Allen about the inclusion of the awesome list on the website (perhaps via new tab as ‘Resources’) and the update workflow from the website.
+
+4. **AWESOME LIST:** Tati will provide AI Lecture material to kick-start the AI-guided science section.
+
+5. **AWESOME LIST:** Pedro will lead the creation of the AI-guided science section.
+
+6. **RESOURCES:** Tati will upload the available material for the Scientific Programming and Reproducible Workflow Workshop.
+
+7. **NEXT MEETING:** Tati will send the Doodle poll for the end of March.

+
+- Vitor suggestion: "Awesome lists" (e.g., of awesome packages developed/in use by OMF members) on OMF github, either website or new website under the OMF organisational repo.
+
+- Hackathon at iEMS (Dublin, July 2026)
+
+- How to circulate meeting minutes?
+
+- Google Docs / similar: problematic for our Chinese colleagues
+
