OR14 Helsinki

Jun 16, 2017

Whilst there were many Hydra-based presentations at OR13, this was not obvious in the program.  Reading the program (only) one might have been forgiven for thinking Hydra was dead in the water.

For OR14:

  • presentations need "Hydra" in the title, if at all possible; we should perhaps solicit some papers ahead of time to try and ensure an overall shape to the Hydra content (understanding that we don't control which papers will be accepted)

  • we should try to influence the structure of the User Group sessions so that Hydra has a definite time block (which it can organise itself?) but not in competition with Islandora

  • need to tailor and focus information so that people can clearly choose the sessions "for them".  Shouldn't assume that a manager focussed session is necessarily useful to devs or vice versa.

  • the workshop training agenda should be clear and have carefully spelled out pre-requisites

  • Hydra Partners should have an "Ask me about Hydra" badge

  • we should have a real awards ceremony

  • we should have something akin to the Edinburgh bookmark which identifies all the Hydra content in the OR program
