        2. 2.5 days of Strategic Planning (9/16-18).

        2. Emphasis is on getting ALL PARTNERS together at least once during year
        3. Idea followed on from discussion at Partners meeting, to provide one space in the year that every Partner tries to get to. Share, Learn, Connect theme (Matt).  Focus on cross-pollination with deeper follow-up as identified.
      3. 2014: regional Hydra event in UK/Ireland (same time as LDCX?)
        1. LDCX - dates tbc dependent on Code4Lib being finalised, UK event may be small, but offer a useful regional focus

    2. Training
      1. Updates on Summer/Fall HydraCamp planning: Virginia, Ohio, Chicago, Boston?

        1. Virginia HydraCamp - slight variant on program in discussion with DCE, Aug 5-9, APTrust is joining this and could offer some support for attendance, expecting 14-20 attendees.  Event open to all and call to go out in the next week.  Tutorials should be done prior to Camp, so it can start on Day 3/4 from normal program and go further.

        2. Standard HydraCamp in Ohio area later in the summer, details tbc

        3. Hopefully coordinate announcements
