Landing Page

Dean asks everyone to please take a look and send in your comments.

http://projectvrm.net

Doc's first comments... we do need to have something that indicates Project VRM is a Berkman thing. Also, we do need to create a separate organization, with some kind of relationship (close or far) with Berkman. That org and the Project VRM site need to be fit together.

So, this landing page is for the ProjectVRM project at Berkman. We'll figure the rest out once we get the new org up and running.

Relbutton Meetings

Keith, Doc, and Jake Shapiro got together and are having infrequent calls on this. Getting something on the iPhone is a moving target, but very interesting.

Doc & Keith bought an iPhone to see how it works.

There are four iPhone tuners... with mixed features.

Null River is the company making one of those Tuners.

There is a grant in the works to make an iPhone app that is a relbutton tuner.


Ribbitt

Silicon Valley company doing iPhone development, they also have a software version of the iPhone that allows you to breadboard applications for the iPhone. BT just bought them. JP Rangaswami is their chairman. Good synergistic opportunity.

Chris Allen

Great article(s) on iPhone issues and speed bumps.

Nokia

Dean suggests getting them involved. Doc agrees. We are committed to a cross-platform application. iPhone is getting traction, but we definitely want it to be everywhere.

Brett mentioned John Kemp of Nokia--the webservices API architect--is already a big VRM supporter.
