Test/pilot of inviting an institution currently building an integration to speak at our meeting.

Thinking about asking developers or institutional representatives to contribute to the blow.  Kind of a retrospective spotlight of what they've done and what they've learned.

Christine suggested that we reach out to some folks at Stanford who are working on a new integration with epad
