"Gemification" - explanation and progress report (Mark, Rick)
Recyclable functionailities that can be built into hydra heads, ex. collections, workflow, admin, others.

Hackfest possibly in the works for the June meeting in Boston
"microgems" to add in functionalities to create heads that implement certain features
Hydra gem v6.0.0 "Fleecevest" - explanation and progress report. Documentation. (Mark)
Understanding "Hydra" version versus a collection of gems in different versions, ex. hydra-head, AF, OM, etc.
Hydra releases =~ linux distros: a version of hydra that consists of a bundle of gems, via bundler
Second-level dependencies, i.e. gems depending on other gems, is currently creating some problems
Bess: will this work? Mark: yes, just need to work around the issues with bundler
Richard: Documentation? Mark: label documentation with the version and move the docs closer to the wikis in the relevant github repos
Richard: the "Hydra gem" that is released periodically as complete, stable version, suitable for installation and "proper" documentation
Mark: reduce documentation size to cover only the relevant Hydra bundled releases
What does the Steering Group do? What do partners do? Rebalancing the listed responsiblities. (Tom)
We're getting bigger, do we need to change responsibilities viz. steering/partners?
Go back to the wiki page outlining community page and update based on our more recent activity
Robin: Steering as stewardship; making sure things happen; recruiting new partners
Richard: look at

Tom: partners vs. tech; some on one and not on the other, so send notes to both lists if needed

Training and materials for managers and sysadmins (Bess)
Hesitation over hydra due to systems limitations, tensions between devs and sysadmins
Assuring managers, add element to hydra camp for sysadmins
devopts in Hydra, puppet recipes for Hydra
Steve: using puppet and vagrant for Avalon
Training the trainers - First a TA stage then nomination by other trainers. Working group will codify.
Mark: intentionally replicated training process, encouraging other trainers, variable-length sessions (hours to days)
Adam: code4lib precon was very "organic"; happy to share/help, etc.
Bess: encouraging training with incentives
Bess: OR training, put out a call to the list
