• Dan: Bill, relevant questions for Hydra folks?
• Bill: See who, if anyone, is doing a shib integration.
• Dan: I added an overview documentation task for myself.
• Dan: Bill, how are you about closing the DuraCloud JIRA item for tracking DfR 0.1 tasks?
• Bill: Automation step for bit integrity still needed. Andrew planning to create manifest this week, which is a needed piece. Likely won't happen 'till next week.
• Bill: Fyi, DfR release is planned at same time as DuraCloud release. May need to push DuraCloud release out a week in order to finish some items.
• Dan: Looking at to do list now.
• Chris: DFR-76 and 77 not started. 77 is most likely to actually get done in the next week and a half.
• Dan: Looks likely everything in "to do" list will get done except 76.

Upcoming meeting:

• Jonathan: Talk about second iteration...want a kickoff meeting. Spent a lot of first iteration getting oriented, etc.. Want to get more done in next iteration.
• Brad: Doodle for the week of the 9th? Looking for a half day.
• Dan: Split into two two-hour sessions?
• Brad: Maybe easier would be to block a half day. Use that time to work through all planning/design issues we want to get through at this point.
• Bill: Monday the 9th? Start at 11? Morning and afternoon session.
• Jonathan: Where are dates for iterations?
• Dan: See releases in JIRA. Start date and end dates.

Hydra meeting this week (Bill will be there):

• Chris: Interested in how people in Hydra are thinking about cloud storage, in particular eventual consistency issues.
• Bill: Will be mentioning issues we've seen when dealing with cloud storage, will be listening to see if folks there have noted similar issues.
• Dan: Interested in who's doing private clouds.
• Bill: So far seems people are interested in hosting themselves.
• Dan: Also interested in what people are doing for process orchestration (beyond Work-do)

Misc:
Dan: Include in our discussion of planning how to introduce camel or OSGi in a lightweight way.
