OR14

Try to get a block of time for Hydra to organise during the User Groups
Plan conference goodies in advance (bookmark or similar, stickers, ...)
Plan for awards ceremony

 

Marketing (Marketing working group)

Once we come up with concrete ideas about webinars, Jonathan can talk to the webinar scheduling folks at DuraSpace.
Work on the glossies and other tangibles
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).
Resurrect the hydra trademarking conversation in steering. Chris Awre will circulate the information he has about the Madrid protocol.
Revisit the tone of the adopter/partner language on the Hydra web site
Get graphics (logo, poster graphix, etc.) readily available. Revitalize the 'Powered by Hydra' graphic. Mike can add this to the list of rebranding tasks he will be having a designer work on. (UVa uses already on Libra).
Partners who have already paid for stickers, tshirts, etc. will share what they have already spent on these materials.
Investigate possibility of professional facilitator for next strategy meeting. (SG)
