This document summarizes the CORAL User Group meeting at ER&L 2013. It discusses that the CORAL community is still active with over 200 subscribers. The steering committee has 5 member institutions that discuss enhancements to CORAL and contributions from different sites. In year two, the committee is focusing on sites sharing local solutions and enhancements through GitHub. They are looking for new members and contributions to documentation. Opportunities for the future include integrating with knowledge bases and standards like SUSHI. The document ends by inviting audience participation and discussion.
