Dive into Hydra |
| As an introduction to the Hydra technology stack, this workshop will take you through installing and configuring the core components of Hydra, and expose you to common tools used in Hydra development. In the end, you will have Hydra running on top of Fedora and Solr with example digital objects created. Please visit the workshop tutorial description here to perform the prerequisite steps before you arrive: https://github.com/projecthydra/hydra/wiki/Dive-into-Hydra. | 180 min workshop | |||
Intro to Blacklight and Hydra UX |
| 90 minute workshop on basic user interface customization for Blacklight based applications (including Hydra). Introduces customizing the look and feel for branding purposes as well as simple behavior customizations such as implementing custom search and facet terms. | - I think a list of attendees email addresses would be helpful. We may send out a brief note to those attending about what we’ll be covering and things they may want to download in advance if they want to follow along. - Round tables or lecture would probably be fine. No preference really. - We will need power, a projector, and a screen. | 90 min workshop | ||

How to migrate a Hydra head from one version of Hydra to another (not just previous to next version)? What to expect, what to look out for? | Local |
| Hydra is a great toolkit for rapidly creating digital repository software. What is it like after initial development ceases? Share your experiences with two seasoned Hydra developers. We’ll talk about what is easy, what isn’t, and what we can do about it. Topics will include updating Hydra’s stack components including Solr and Fedora, as well as its related gems such as Active Fedora. |

How to manage a Hydra project |
| This interactive session will provide perspectives on managing Hydra projects, considering in particular staff and onboarding needs, leveraging and contributing to the Hydra community, and a survey of software development approaches in use. | Count: 50 is okay, we think. Room setup: This is not a hands-on workshop but there should be a lot of discussion hopefully. So anything that would facilitate some looking at the screen and some discussion. I think people will have their laptops so tables would be nice though they are not totally necessary. I think U shape would be too hard with that many people. We will need some space for the panel to sit though, is that possible? Attendee List: I would like to see the list, if possible, for planning purposes so we know the ratio of new to Hydra vs experienced. We are doing a survey before the workshop (should be out today) about managing hydra projects, Mark Notess will be sending that to the community list though FYI. Equipment: We would need power, projector, screen, and wifi! | 90 min workshop | ||
How to manage agile development |
| Agile is based on self-organizing cross-functional teams addressing evolving requirements and delivering solutions incrementally. Adaptive planning and continuous improvement make Agile teams highly flexible and able to rapidly respond to change. Participants in this workshop will learn about the principles and benefits of Agile and will engage in core Agile activities that they can take back to their own teams. | Number of attendees (25 projected to be 36) is fine. Projector, screen, and post-its -- yes. If the room has white boards, that's great. If not, 1 or 2 of those easels with the big white tablets will be a-ok. Rose will be bringing a few supplies, too -- medium-point sharpies, that sort of thing. It would be good to have power, projector, and screen for the workshop. Post'its might also be good. | 90 min workshop | ||
