Tag Line Idea... (Ski)

I have noticed that many organizations have a short tag line that is used to help folks remember them. For examples check out http://www.taglineguru.com/sloganlist.html and http://www.bizopedia.biz/2007/11/taglines-and-brands-of-major-companies.html. A few ideas I have are:

"We make systems work"
"We make technology work"

Etiquette Policy Review... (Ski)

We said on 11/21 that we would set up a committee to review the changes. Who is doing this?

Assigned to Ski

Intern... (Ski)

Mary Arthur has signed her NDA and is ready to start work for us. She needs some accounts, but once she gets them I will get her started on the customer service queue and any other projects you may have.

William and Ski will work get accounts set up in RT, on Civi, and on the board wiki. Ski will work on training her. We need to do some clean up of the board wiki before we allow her access to it. We need to create a new namespace for old pages.

Adjournment

Motion to adjourn at 2153 by Ski, seconded by William
