Hydra Workshop (Mon AM) participants

If you're willing and available to help out with the Hydra Workshop on Monday morning (demo'ing a head, addressing part of presentation, fielding Q&A), please list yourself here. Specifically, we'd like to have at least two Partners be willing to demonstrate their heads at length, and possibly more doing brief highlights of how their apps work. Tom will distribute a draft, detailed schedule in the next week for prep. Note that there is a Fedora Futures event from 10 AM - noon on Monday AM.

  • Tom Cramer
  • Jeremy Friesen
  • Jim Coble (Duke) ā€“ will be there and can help as appropriateĀ ā€“ our hydra head is probably not yet at a point for an "at length" demonstration but I'm happy to demo anything about it that would be useful
  • Bess Sadler - will be there and can help as needed
  • Robin Ruggaber - perhaps facilitate breakout session around building information for manager topics?
  • Mark Bussey & Justin Coyne - will give a demo of Sufia/HydraDAM
  • Jon Dunn - willing to demo Avalon
  • Karen Cariani - will be there, willing to help as needed

Hydra Tech Workshop (Mon PM) participants - Intro to Hydra for Developers

We will be leading folks through the Dive Into Hydra tutorial. Ā Please work through (or at least read through) the tutorial on your own before Monday if you'd like to help out.

  • Mark Bussey will kick off the session
  • Justin Coyne will be here.
  • Jeremy Friesen will also be here.
  • Jim Coble (Duke) will be there.
  • Bess Sadler - will be there and can help as needed

Hydra Table Schedule

We will have a table in the general hall that we plan to staff, so people can drop by and query about Hydra, evaluate it, absorb some of the project mojo, pick up swag. This was one of the most dynamic and popular areas of the OR12 conference (yes, the whole conference). Schedule sign up here (Google docs version of the spreadsheet that Jonathan sent out by email):Ā https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuofLdQVs_RYdHVsVzBidFlwRDdMQkpPNnRYV3g4elE&usp=sharing

  • Jim Coble (Duke) may be helping at the Monday workshops and will be giving a presentation late Thursday afternoon but, so far, I have no other specific commitments.
  • Bess Sadler - happy to staff the table
  • Robin Ruggaber - will sign up for slots and drop in whenever possible outside of that
