Random Monday morning. Phone call with John, going over ideas and game plan. Phone call with Cory to get a new project. I'm going to be fixing the AFB timeclock app. Checked in on the GoToMeeting session. Chatted with both John and Sean on the GoToMeeting session. I then got on a phone call with my sister. She has a number of small items that she would like to sell online through ecommerce.

- People over things

- People need help - for example, my sister and her little business. It's almost too small for anybody else to care about.

- Barter system - My sister is a master at that - "Come shopping at my house" - she has all kinds of arts and crafts that she makes, builds, and sews. Super creative. Along those same lines, maybe we could say something like "Come shopping at my software application". We could barter, trade, buy, sell, or whatever. Almost our own little adilas marketplace (of sorts). We have a lot to offer and goods and services could be bought and sold with more than just normal money. Fun idea.

Phone calls, texts, and reaching out to some of my contacts. I'd like to reach out to Sharik Peck, Aaron Hill, Jonathan Johnson, Mike Hall, and Josh Wheeler - to start with. Maybe others later on.

Brainstorming on quick and small ecommerce packages. And then help them get it all setup and going. Kinda a free trial basis for a couple of months. Work some magic to do some quick sprints if needed (custom or general code work to help them out).

I also sent a big text to Steve to tell him yes, I'm planning on running with ship B (adilas lite). I told him last week that I would officially let him know on Monday what my decision was. Well, this was it. I'm in!

Touching base with John on the plan and progress there. We did some planning and brainstorming. We talked about paper and pencil/pen and what other tools are available. John was showing me some flow chart drawing apps like draw.io (diagrams). We talked a lot about the words light or lite and what that means. We talked about different levels like in skiing and snowboarding. You have true beginners, greens, blues, blacks, double blacks, and orange (freestyle or terrain parks). Basically, beginner, intermediate, advanced, and super advanced (custom).

 Our first major plan is to help funnel down some of the existing entries from the developer's notebook into smaller categories and such. As a fun side note, dealing with plans and docs, John has already done some of this type of stuff and work for some of his school projects. We may tap into that as some resources.

As a request, John wants me to start digitizing things earlier. I tend to use pen and paper and then digitize things after the fact. It may depend on what is happening and what the things are. sometimes my pen and paper model is super fast and effective. John and I spent the rest of the session going over ideas for business plans and what that will take. We talked about doing a S.W.O.T. analysis tomorrow. That stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (swot).

We talked about who may play what roles, going forward. We really want to build things that will be stable. That includes clustering, mirrors, back-ups, and enterprise level capabilities. We also need it to be sustainable, who will support it, build it, sell it, etc. (statement and a question). We need to build those pieces into the mix. Building the dream together.

Meeting with Aspen. We reviewed notes and made some new plans. See full sheets of paper. We have 5 of them. See attached. She was making them into more solid documents and plans.
