    • Get a Twitter account (there is a hydraproject account but it's suspended) and agree on a hashtag for the project . Linda Newman will be on the social media working group.
    • Identify the list of conferences of interest/value. Jonathan will forward the DuraSpace calendar as a starting point.
    • Articulate adopter/partner goals in the strategic plan (not sure this is phrased correctly): what are these roles and what's the relative value of each? Karen?
    • Develop some guidance/help documents around how to deal with IP questions that come up when contributors want to get their institution to agree to allow them to contribute code. (Declan will start this doc).
