Topics and Notes

MOU

MOUs in Hull for final signature and will be couriered back to other partners asap
1 page addendum to MOU available soon?

Partner Meeting Scheduling and Location

Confirmed again at Charlottesville, VA, June 6-8
Sept meeting site still not finalized
- Notre Dame? Rock Hall?
- Notre Dame has confirmed ability to host and some interest from IU in sending more folks if at ND (and 4 hours from Cleveland)
- Tom was going to check with Adam on Rock Hall abilities as there was some interest in having a meeting at a non-University site
Should there be a Dec partner meeting?
- General consensus was at a minimum there should be a Steering group meeting
- Location TBD?
Steering group (at least) should consider longer-term planning.
- Where should Hydra be in a year? Two years?

Partner Meeting Focus

Have more developer topics suggested up front to get more developer attendance?
Do we have separate tracks (may depend on who is there but could also get different folks there depending on expected topics)?
Have 1 or 2 meetings a year with a heavier technical focus to get involvement from folks with challenged funds?

OR 2012

We will probably not hear back on submissions until a week from Monday, April 16 (ie April 23rd)
Maintaining a booth
- Do we have literature available such as bookmarks, 4x6 cards?
- Use screencasts needed for webinars at OR
  - Do we have screencasts available to run on a flat screen display on different partner implementations? (Useful for demo, or as a loop when stand unmanned (unpersoned?))
  - Ones mentioned were Libra, Hull, Atrium. Others?
- How do we staff it? Consensus was it can be done but no clear plan on logistics yet
- We have a placeholder application in with the conference organisers
- Take up by email how this might be staffed/run
T-Shirt
- Would be nice to be able to distribute at OR
- Have available in a limited quantity as incentive for attendance of Hydra workshop (ie. 1st 50 get a t-shirt)
- Not sure the "we R pwning ur repoztry" is mainstream enough for folks to understand (esp UK!)

Project Mgmt

Hudson/Jenkins Server
- Eddie had to resurrect the Hudson/Jenkins server lately and may want to look at improving the hosting infrastructure for this soon
- Need to work through transferring ownership from MediaShelf (Chris Beer was listed as the new 'release manager' by Tom)
Move JIRA tickets from Duraspace JIRA to Atlassian hosted as it would be free for our open source project and always 'up-to-date' software-wise. Eddie to investigate and to trial migration from DuraSpace.
- Not bound to Duraspace for maintenance
- Could integrate with google apps for calendaring and document sharing
- Integrate with Confluence Wiki
- Main reservation was what happens if Atlassian decides to stop offering as free? This might be an issue anyhow with Duraspace JIRA

Google apps

need to resolve DNS issues with Tom
really important that our lists be xxxxxxx@projecthydra.org - which Google apps would enable.

- Tom check with Adam about Rock Hall (Tom)
