Notes:

Server meeting. The whole first part of the meeting was Dustin and Wayne going over some new things for cultivation. We talked about doing a new database field for locations and calling it a location type (normal, retail, warehouse, backend, vault, etc.). That almost sounded like sub locations, but we didn't end up going there. I've got a bunch of other notes on sub locations and sub phases.

Kelly ended up joining us and we found out that we thought was a coding error was just a data or user error. Great dialog back and forth between Cory, Kelly, Wayne, Dustin, and I. It was a great session. Here are a few other things that I thought were interesting:

- Being consistent - across the board

- Forcing some clean-up and maintenance

- Talking about reports and proper data drill-downs - getting to the underlying data quickly and correctly

- Mixing different vendors and locations (report settings and filters). If they weren't just right, the reports would return different data (filter stuff).

- When Kelly joined, you could literally hear and feel the difference between a power user and a backend developer. Kelly, as s power user, had so much more depth of knowledge of what went where and how it got there (using existing tools). The developers could look at the data and the logic, but it didn't make as much sense because they had no context for that data. Interesting!

- We are trying to smooth things out. Some of that will be through new interfaces, training, and education.

- Some of the challenges of being so dynamic (as a software system or application). It is both a blessing and a curse (how flexible we are).

- What does it cost to keep clean data and how do we main that clean data?

- We would love to add some trouble shooting pages and/or known error reports or pages. Basically, a quick way to find and fix data that may have an issue. Flag it and then allow them to change it so that it is correct. This would be awesome if we could add this for our fracture project.

- Manual tests and audits of the data - Is it a code issue or a data issue?

- We talked about switching over our email servers and how that project is coming

- Talking about getting system-wide aggregates and how best to get that data in place. This is huge, we just haven't done it yet. We have all of the transactional data records, we just need to virtually let the cream rise to the top.

- Kelly and Cory are going to be coming up with some standard testing forms (what to test and different scenarios for testing)

- Cory had a small list of other projects that we checked in on and got small updates.

- John and Cory were going over end of the year payroll projects, once everybody else left
