Advance CAMP preparation

Are there topics we would like to raise at the ACAMP Unconference?

At the 2013 ACAMP in Burlingame, Chris did a new UI demo and there were other Grouper related sessions.

Decision: Discuss potential ACAMP sessions at the Grouper-Dev call on Wed. Oct. 8, 2014,

So we make the most of this Face-to-Face opportunity

Making the Grouper Community Contributions/Adopter Sketches More Helpful

 Bill has been reviewing the Adopter Sketches on the Grouper Community Contributions wiki:

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Community+Contributions

Would be helpful to indicate which sketches are most current and most relevant.
