Hydra Connect 2016
What is Hydra Connect?
Hydra Connect (hashtag #HydraConnect) is a chance for Hydra Project participants to gather in one place at one time, with an emphasis on synchronizing efforts, technical development, plans, and community links. The meeting program is aimed at existing users, managers and developers and at new folks who may be just "kicking the tires" on Hydra and who want to know more. Hydra advertises this yearly conference with the slogan "as a Hydra Partner or user, if you can only make it to one Hydra meeting this academic year, this is the one to attend!"
This year the official conference days are Monday October 3rd - Thursday October 6th 2016 and it will primarily be held at the Boston Public Library (700 Boylston St) with some workshops taking place at Northeastern University.
¿Qué es Hydra Connect?
Hydra Connect (#HydraConnect en Twitter) es una oportunidad para todos aquellos que participan en el Proyecto Hydra de reunirse y sincronizar nuestros planes de desarrollo y trabajo técnico, asi como establecer enlaces con el resto de la comunidad.
La agenda durante esta reunión incluye temas de interés tanto para instituciones que ya usan Hydra y están familiarizados con la tecnología, como para aquellos que apenas lo están evaluando y desean conocer más acerca del proyecto, la gente que lo usa, y los programadores involucrados en su desarrollo. Hydra patrocina esta conferencia anual con el eslogan "no importa si eres un usuario nuevo o alguien que ya contribuye al Proyecto Hydra, si so solo vas atender una conferencia este año ¡Hydra Connect es la que debes atender!"
Este año la conference se llevará a cabo del lunes 3 de octubre al jueves 6 de octubre del 2016, la mayoría de los eventos serán en la Boston Public Library (700 Boylston St) y algunos talleres serán en la Northeastern University (a unas cuadras de la biblioteca).
La conferencia será en inglés, pero esperamos que nuestro colegas de habla hispana puedan atender y se beneficien tanto con las presentaciones y talleres como con la colaboración en persona con otras instituciones. Si hablas español y necesitas más información para registrarte o reservar un cuarto de hotel puedes contactar a Héctor Correa (hector_correa@brown.edu) y el te podrá dar más información en español.
