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

  • General Improvements
    • Web site on COD
    • Staff page
  • 2014 Conference

    • 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
