    1. Update from Hydra Connect

      1. Conversations at the conference: We want to make sure core gems are getting love. 8 - 9 institutions interested in developing common data model, converging on common model for works, RDF technologies, (UCSD, Oregon, NW, DCE, Stanford, ND, possibly others). Some are contributing use cases (Cincinnati). 

    2. See here (worth reading all three pages to see full arc of discussion):  Long Term Vision and Architectural Oversight
      Core Gems Committers Notes
      Sufia Futures

    3. This topic should now take place in the relevant working group, we don't need to keep it on the monthly agenda for everyone. 

  4. Hydra News (proposed new aggregation of information)

    1. Steven Ng from Temple U. has volunteered to aggregate news about Hydra into a single news feed. Steven and Richard Green are discussing this and will come back to the community with a more detailed proposal. Email Richard or Steven if you want to be involved. 

  5. Standing Community to-do's

    1. Reports back (if any)

      1. Hydra Connect synthesis

        1. Thanks to Case Western Reserve for hosting! You are awesome!

        2. For junior people, could we have something in between a dev congress & a hydra camp? Something to help new folks on board? Claire will send out some ideas. 

        3. Did we do a good job reaching non-partners / potential adopters? Can we reach out to them now and talk about how it went? Best way to do this might be regionally. 

        4. Thanks to the conference program planners! Great job!

    4. Interest & Working Groups

      1. Proposal on formation and governance of working and interest groups

        1. Having a more formal working and interest group model could be a way for Hydra to grow and scale. Interest groups focus on a specific topics over time, but working groups come together to accomplish a specific deliverable, in a specific length of time, and then disband. Please read and comment. We hope to ratify this this quarter, and use it to organize our work going forward. 

      2. Hydramata: 

        1. It is an evolving discussion on how much to keep Hydramata separate from other projects like Sufia, Curate, and Worthwhile.  It is likely that a handful of common components will emerge drawing from those projects.

        2. Jeremy Friesen's Presentation Hydramata::Works, Hydramata::Core, and a Little Bit More (Jeremy Friesen) (Link to presentation)

        3. Hydramata poster: Hydramata poster link

      3. Hydra RDF WG

        1. Hydra Connect RDF WG 2014-10-03

        1. 2 potential models for hydra rights metadata in rdf. One of these will go into place in fedora 4 pilot projects. Karen Estlund is going to take over facilitating, and the upcoming meeting in Portland is going to be part of that. Portland meeting likely to focus on rights metadata. 

        2. Current group is more of an RDF interest group and specific work should take place in WG convened for a specific task.
