Call for future presenters

  • Will Cowan at Indiana -- found it was hard because everyone was getting ready for OR, same problem now with HC, could be issue of timing
  • Frequency could be an issue, skip for OR , skip for summer?
  • WUSTL (Andrew) would be interested in giving an update at the September meeting if people want to hear what they're working.
  • BPL (Steven) could maybe volunteer for next one, but may have something for next meeting
  • In November Michigan could volunteer to show something (Nabeela)
  • if you see something interesting in the partner report encourage your peers to report out at this meeting.
  • in addition to the next agenda, idea proposed we add a page with additional dates and institutions thinking about presenting, with also a place for people to list what they're interested in hearing more about.

Misc Items

  • Spotlight on Spotlight video of presentation here:
  • DLF in Milwaukee shortly after Hydra Connect, We should start thinking about Hydra presence there?

  • Will Cowan - thinking about starting a paged media interest group particularly interested modeling that within pcdm.

Hydra fundraising and financial vision

For reference see this email sent on 7/25 to Hydra Partners:

  • Now has raised over $50k with contributions from 7-8 additional contributions since the 7/25 email.
  • Tom outlined the financial vision
  • Proceeding with trademark for hydra the project and the logo
  • Contractor working on a new website
  • Valerie Holister at Duraspace or any member of steering can help you make a contribution

Questions:
Is fundraising tied to a cycle a cycle? Summer is a bad time for some places to make a contribution.
Most Duraspace projects fundraise in spring/summer, but they can accommodate whenever is best for you to make a contribution.

If you contribute as a sponsor of Hydraconnect are you counting that toward Hydra fundraising?
Richard: we are not counting that as sponsorship of the project but subsidy as a subsidy of the conference

Contributions in-kind -- while we may not want to officially tie dollar figures to them, we should recognize them in addition to monetary contributions somehow.

Upcoming Calendar Events:
Hydra Connect 2016 (October 3rd - 6th): Registration open
Blacklight Summit at Princeton - Nov 2-4, 2016
