Notes
Fix My Vendor
How do we help users start driving value. There's a service called "Fix My Street". Perhaps we could do something like that, called "Fix My Vendor", which is a user-driven way to make a difference (rather than a calling to account to the Govt for doing their job).
Not sure what the difference is with Get Satisfaction. One thing is that Fix implies it is broken. If it were "Fix my Spouse" that would be pretty offensive.
Perhaps "Fix my Market" or as Iain says "I don't like..." to focus energy on the real problem, without blaming the vendor.
An open source/open standard Get Satisfaction would be awesome. But there are hosting issues.
Existing Steering Committee Members
Dean asked for recruiting new folks. He had sent out an email.
Face to Face
We have a location at Standard for May 14, 15. Chris will follow up and pick some rooms. Doc will tell Lauren that Chris will be the point person.
Promotion
- Send out an invitation to the list.
- Notice on the wiki.
Docs a little concerned about promoting it too much. Huge interest in Atlanta, so its possible to get more attendance than we can handle.
