Outstanding Questions

• Thursday pre-event?
• What can we do for speakers that's a nice gesture? (IE. T-shirts, lunch, et cetera)
• What to do with old T-shirts?
  • Warner prefers marketing. Selling reduces perceived value of those who previously acquired them.

Don't Forget

• 10/1 - Raise OLFI to $450 - DONE

DONE

• General Improvements
  • Web site on COD
  • Staff page

• 2014 Conference
  • GCCC contract
  • Lodging contracts (Drury/Hyatt)
  • Meeting room booked at Drury
  • CFP
  • OLFI
  • Registration open
  • Ubucon (not happening)

TODO Post-Con

• Post-Con Meeting - Warner
• Roadmap for 2015 - Warner
• Budget for 2015 / better financial tracking

TODO Eventually

• Review past site content and transfer to new site

Strategic Projects

We'll need surplus revenue to fund these.

• Brand/marketing portfolio
• Graphic design
• Site design
