Tom Cramer, Stu Baker, Steve DiDomenico, Robin Ruggaber, Rick Johnson, Chris Awre, Mark Notess

Status: Going well; really close to being ready for wider access; faculty testing now
Outstanding question - should DIL focus on faculty collection building only or more generally used for collection display as well?

Seven Screencast compiled for Oct 16
Ready to go
Libra, Hull, ScholarSphere, DIL, Seaside, Argo, RockHall
Rick will introduce each screencast; ready to pause and skip around as needed
Organization - grouping 3 IR first, Argo last
Few slides at beginning and end to frame and conclude.
Rick is asking for heads in development so that he can mention coming attractions

San Diego is confirmed for the first week of Dec 3-5th
Three hotels being reviewed for blocks of rooms; Sheraton @$119 per night
Meeting rooms still being confirmed
Question on how many we intend to send
NW - 2
ND - 2
Stanford - 6-7
UVa - 0
Indiana - 2-4
Mediashelf - 3-?
Tom will put out a call on the list. Rick had made a block of 15 and 25 but used about 20 with 7 local to Indiana.
Steering Group will hold a separate, parallel retreat which will not overlap with a developer focused partner meeting except perhaps at night
Thoughts on Agenda - less architecture, more code sharing or developing time
- Next task could be to identify which tools might be used to whiteboard some ideas in advance of the meeting
- Jeremy from ND is out for a portion of Oct and had the whiteboard idea
- Maybe we should call out to Hydracamp to determine if there are focal points for the Dec meeting
- Avalon is still lacking some package dependencies; project is looking for feedback
- Stanford is in the process of trying to install Atrium and should have feedback and a demo by Dec; documentation holes have been identified
