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

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:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/hydra-partners/KzNCtAVjQN8

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
