New approach to Hydra meeting cycles
Richard
-
"Straw man" proposals from SG
- How best to organise face-to-face meetings
- How to establish viable regional communities and partner meetings, and still stay connected
-
The Hydra way - orienting new people to the project; operating standards; expectations of the community. From Strategy 7: "By OR13, Hydra will have an updated and more polished articulation of its community principles, values, methods and benefits--the recipe that has defined the "hydra way" to date, and much of the project's success." Need to decide the contents list and commission writers.

- How does co-development happen?
- What is the nature of Hydra's meetings?
- How to interact effectively on-line and in person

- Are contributions from new partners actually welcome - if so how/when?
-
"Hydra for" documents. Feedback on "for managers"? Develop further? More documents explaining the business case(s)? Karen & Robin--Tuesday
- documents with language about Hydra that is non technical - more of "why hydra than something else?"
- grid that describes what the different gems or heads do (functionality) in non tech talk and what state they are in - still being developed, ready to go, can be used with, etc.
