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.
