Hi NckNight,

Hi guys,

One more area of volunteering:

Book Sharing Interest Group
This group is managed by Soltari and has built a library of management, marketing and advertising, motivational materials (ie. Anthony Robbins and Jay Abraham stuff) and other bric a bracs. There is a requirement for a resource tracker who will manage the resources coming in and out of the library. There is also a need for a events volunteer to manage get-togethers.

Hi Ncknight,

Thanks for your email, Sorry for the late reply. I think I would be interested in Subject matter expert. Which links more to business theory/business strategy.

Thanks..

Windy

Hi Nic,

I would like to volunteer for the Liaison Officer. I'm new to diplomacy & ambassadorial roles, so I hope to learn from all the more seasoned guys here.

Strange though to observe that there are no takers for this position so far, and all are volunteering for Events Management.

He gave a brief update on Project:Senso for the past 3 years whereby the site experienced 2 incidents of data loss, frequent downtimes and people actively sabotaging and hacking the site. It was agreed across the board that it is time Project:Senso is revitalized, its systems made more secure and capable of serving the community and its image and direction made clear to all.

Issue 1: Defining the target audience
2. All volunteers present discussed about the target market to focus on of the "new senso". Two demographics were identified: 1. startups and 2. pre startups. After weighing the pros and cons, the committee arrived at a conclusion at a 4:2 vote to target the pre startups as the resources and expertise required for the targeted demographics is readily available from the current team and crowd within Project:Senso. Appropriate methods will be taken to recognize startups and existing businesses.

Issue 2: Image and legal entity of organization

4. Andy briefed all volunteers on the new committee structure and their roles and responsibilities. The organizational chart will be made available in hardcopy by the following meeting.

5. The volunteers has decided on some of the services that Project:Senso will provide. Some of the services that the organization are partnering services, funding services, networking services, fundamentals and consulting services.

6. Bingxiong suggested the use of simple web applications, such as a checklist for people who wish to start their business which will provide the basic framework for their review. Ryan mentioned that this may be too much spoonfeeding and an agreement was made as to not "dummify" the task too much yet able to provide useful information.

Issue 4: Upgrading of technical infrastructure
7. Andy and Nicholas has mentioned to the volunteers that the new technical system for the Project:Senso site will be completed and migrated in 2 weeks time.
