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
