      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.

         3. Hopefully coordinate announcements
