A

Start recording here highlight of the beliefs for me was that we nailed the bricklaying part like we had a workflow where he had a chain of people and then the layer layer guy could lay a block in like four seconds each, which means that if we continue that pattern, we build the entire wall of this one hunt like 14 square meter house and to under three hours, amazing just amazing. So we had big tractor with a slurry mixer and a 55-gallon drum that we we solved the slurry, the mortar issue and the workflow issues.

A

We had back, stop switch which against which we laid the block. So this brings Seabees back into like realm of wow. These super quick builds that are feasible, so good stuff, we're good and we're gonna redo that repeat that it was really hard to work with different materials. Cuz their materials were different.

A

They're, like wood was different, but we're gonna redo that again we're gonna repeat this event in August, twice, probably twice like prototype more and then do a quick build like a three-day build to show that we can do completion in like three days or so aiming towards getting that as a product that we can actually produce on a regular basis for people, people who want to get one of these okay. Here you go so looking really good moving forward.

A

A very specific thing that came out was how about a kid house that you can buy for fifty thousand dollars. That's a thousand square feet. You could build with a friend in one week. That's that's an idea that came about and I think it's realistic. It would take some development, but that's kind of my radar right now cuz. If we did that that's changing, but that could be pretty impactful. Then you have to study why kid houses never fad, never succeeded. They never didn't really succeed.

A

It did succeed in some ways: I'm, not really sure why they haven't succeeded because you could think of. Like you know, the uber of housing would be a low-cost house that you can build yourself, but I think the biggest part is that the producers don't want to do it. It's too hard. So.

B

Keep filming what is that is a cute house. Is that the same house, modular building or it's.

A

Different kid houses, a child, comes up to your site deposits. This thing and allows you to build the house in a in a week with you with a single person and a friend which means that'll be penalized. Construction like like pop-up house, you ever see pop-up house from France.

B

No not really, how is the construction normally like? Is it a quality? Show, that's that's. Quite people don't build it or it's good cool I.

A

Think it's a combination of a couple of things. One is that.

A

Skilled people or people that I think one part is the thing where the process is too complex altogether like yet you still have to get land and overall, the process seems to be too complicated for anybody to do so. That means the organization would have to facilitate that. That means energy and lower profits or whatever, and that's why, like because of the profit margins, it wouldn't make so much sense, because a lot of people build a very build expensive in an expensive way.

A

Why do we think we can do it? I, don't know, I, think really real attention to simplicity, I would say simplicity, but still you gotta have quality in there, too. I can only speculate until we do it. So, let's we'll run into the real issues and probably zoning and all of that like codes and things, it's probably a combination of a lot of factors, but I could see, hence that it's tractable at least technically, it's easy, probably in terms of practice with all the other social and government details it becomes much more complicated but I.

A

Think technically it's like we've done the extreme manufacturing. We really we're seeing that wow. You can just do these super fast builds stuff like that. We were on Belizean TV, so you can see an interview.

A

I, just posted that today look at the workshops page, but let's go. Let's go right into let's go into the steam camps thing so I I guess update from you because of the other people. I, don't know where they are. Let me try to email them. Maybe.

A

Jessica and Chris do you have some updates you'd like to share because otherwise out my side.

B

So yeah, it is basically the same a sense to you right now, there's like four people still on the radar and depending on how it goes all through I. Don't think it's perfect like going in another round with the same tactics, because it seems like it's not the right type of work as a traditional like happened.

B

If we managed to get like some of these generators, I think there would be really great team, also good to have maybe someone who might not be a traditional, let's say like maker people, but like come from a more let's say, all, have different professional experience and different professional backgrounds which they can bring to your team.

B

So it would be really great if it manages code if it doesn't punish it might be better to and the approach which she talked about in the earlier meeting, to basically promote successful scheme, cancel and from those team times trying to to enlist people or actually you imagine it and like trying to recruit this goes directly on and they take. They want to hold the steam temps.

B

I've been doing some talking to teachers in different areas, and here is a new person in theaters and, as I can understand from, and one interview I have early this week. Is that I think that it's not only interesting for students to do it. If we do it for students and probably high school students might be most interesting, did.

C

You ever want to disagree, so speakers might.

B

Be interested in attending to this workshop, so one of the person to do a massage rocky actress for for doing the tests she wants to do the first steam camp for understand teachers. Yes, Oh, big Network, because she is a steam teaching educator. So if you manage to get her into a program that would be really good. Oh, how.

A

Can we facilitate that what's in what's a block, you think.

B

Well, she's still on and the other ones who has dropped off as have different blocks like different peddling products, and one of the most common things is that they can't really take time to do it's during the school time. So I've asked well how about like. Well, there's students, camps or student vacations, but haven't really got a proper answer from that, but it seems to be partly time to get the time frame from the co students.

B

So when you introduce these four days, steam camps, them I think that's when people start to be a little bit more interested any more positive to it. So that would be more likely, I think. Actually, the best idea would be to do a four day and splitting it into two weekends and.

C

B

If that would be possible.

A

Yes and then I I think we can just develop the next product, which is the to date thing yeah.

B

A

Essentially, like take the curriculum, that's there and just shorten it to the essentially the first two days, work and maybe like rework that a little bit but yeah I mean we got to do it and we can think.

A

And then Jamie says we can forget the thing qualified as professional development hours. How do we do that?

A

Can you take any steps on that or that's not your role, as would you be able to pitch that idea of doing the two days as well? Let's see do you want to try to pitch that I mean we can just simply do that as well and just put things on a calendar.

A

Good news is I. Just got the videos you didn't see this, but there's a recruit recruitment. Video for instructors I mentioned that right. I got that maybe you can run with that is.

B

That's the one we liked exciting music.

B

A

The one that's it's not been seen it's just okay,.

D

A

C

The thrill of being present at the moment of discovery, seeing someone's journey where creativity, yeah.

A

That's the beginner I, don't think you've seen it. This is just been I just got back from beliefs, so I got to post this and maybe pass it on to you.

A

So what are what are the next steps right now.

B

So for I'm, having one more, let's say, call with one new prospect teacher next week, so I can run the idea with you today and see if that works better today, in four day with her and then I'm sending the instructions and the information about four days to another teacher who wants to do it and she wants to do it in the summer, if possible. A lot.

A

Of these teachers are any of them capable of doing the the us locations or New Zealand locations, because I mean we're. The easiest way to learn is to attend one yeah.

B

With so the one constitute in summer she's in Minnesota up, so that would be in the US I.

A

Mean how do we address the we should come to come up with so one thing that emerged in Belize, there was one guy who who's good at marketing. We talked about creating funnels like proper marketing funnels to do this work.

B

A

People in a proper way, so that's much more on my radar right now and the guy actually offered some help on that. So I'm gonna work pursue that.

A

Where we got to establish that for the longer term, where we're populating the thing with students is not an issue and then there's a clear onboarding for teachers who like like right now, you're kind of doing it manually and stuff, we could do a good funnel for that.

B

Yeah I think like starting with nine-day Eva's for people who have never like been involved in the organization. Some don't yet. They.

C

B

Not front she, it becomes a very big hurdle, so starting and trying to ask is that, like both up sale but also have funnels from different parts like small events and then become bigger, Lots would be more practical. If that's the type of funnel study we're talking about as well.

B

A

And then I'm, just logging, Steenkamp, blog and Jeremy, put in a note on us continued.

A

What's it called continuing professional development hours, certification, I.

A

Just heard from the one guy why just I just talked to a guy in Seattle, actually another guy Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences Steam teacher steam director- and he mentioned that he's gonna put people in there for professional development hours. So it's like I, don't get it like do some people is there as some formal certification or is that something that some people just take without certification, when it's not a certified program, I, don't know, but that's something to look at. That's.

A

B

A

Sorry say it again:.

B

So it's part of the. If that's these points is that part of the teachers like yep.

A

Yeah this should all go into the funnel. This has got to go into the funnel where professional development I actually want to put the corporate team-building. We have to develop some product, but now I'm. Actually thinking can we get some nonprofit investors like I'm gonna, start asking for that, like I'm, noticing that okay there's some product development time. That needs to happen, and it's always been that but I think we can get.

A

Maybe some money that, through the nonprofit sector, to make it happen, like I, think that's, that's the way, I'm thinking right now getting get a boatload of money to develop the products and the marketing product which involves the product itself, so the funnel plus the products that go into that funnel. There's there's a bit of due diligence there. A lot of it can be co-created by assets we already have, but there's a lot of work that goes into.

A

So on your side address: what's next.

B

So I think, maybe if we can look in that final return, but as well me as well, because I think like restarting the same process again, might not be a best alternative. So I rather one of the.

C

B

Other big hurdles is not only detainment like paying for the equipment, but also the marketing plan. So this time teachers didn't know talked so much about the marketing plan, but the more entrepreneurial Tigers, basically all of them kind of got stuck on our marketing and didn't feel sure about their marketing. So if we have, if we can show that we have brilliant marketing.

A

It's a no-brainer yeah this. That's the missing link right now: okay, let's develop a killer. Marketing funnel turns out that the contact I it's cool, cuz, the guy from the Belize workshop. He knows the russell brunson, the guy who created click funnels well, I mean he was a client of there. So so he has access to him, we'll see what's what's there? Maybe we get, we got a free non profit account with the promise that we're gonna create we're gonna have thousand paying customers.

A

When there's a thousand OSC chapters cuz we implement the click funnels successfully. That's.

B

A good you'll see what we.

A

When he says Jessica, can you pipe in.

A

Can't hear if you're speaking so I put on so there's a steam camp blog people, just if you want to, according to the wiki taxonomic steam camp blog I, put a note. So Jeremy's have been doing some killer work. I mean you just reached out to all the local schools, which is that's an awesome idea like if you reach it like what I should probably do here is in my local area should reach out to all all high schools, especially private ones, because they Jeremy why private schools, because they're more?

A

What is it is that they have more money or is it that their their programs are better or not necessarily, but it seems like Jeremy. Are you finding that private schools are the good market? It doesn't matter, okay, cool, so yeah we got to find out, I guess the process protocol. There would be to even that's good. That's it's good information. Doesn't matter if it's public or private, it's they're, interested.

A

A good approach would be for me here to simply drop a list and email them. So maybe Jeremy do you have any marketing material? Well, an email copy of an email you sent, or can you pump that into the steam camp blog.

D

I am here, can you hear me speak.

A

Now we can hear you.

A

Yeah come here, you I was.

D

A

You enjoy talking to yourself hugely okay I. Do that all the time keeps.

D

B

D

Person I think you.

B

Need more people, awareness, yeah,.

D

So I mean I think you have been posting at the school's posting.

B

D

ah It's hard to know you could be it's like in some ways is perfect context and others you just it's really random- that someone might actually pay attention to the fire right. Yeah.

A

Yeah Jessica: do you have any time to.

A

Do like a search because Jeremy did a good deal he reached out to like 40 schools and he just contact with their steam people. Do you have any time to do something like that? I can.

D

Do something like that absolutely I don't know who those people are, but I can try. So.

A

How do you find those people you find them by Jeremy? What was your process? You look at a school and you look at. Did you call the school yeah.

E

I I went to the schools pages and the staff directories and I found the career counselors, who are responsible for helping.

E

You know juniors and seniors kind of decide where they're gonna go college or tech, school or right into the job world and I emailed them directly with you know some basic information about the camp and you know an offer to like, even if the timing doesn't quite work out since it was such short notice like we have other camps or like, let's start a dialogue job when might work for your at school and that that email then got passed around to several of the actual engineering or technical people at those schools who are in charge of those programs, and those are the people who are usually getting back to me.

E

B

If duck University or our high school, its high schools.

E

I'm still working on the universities, the high schools have smaller staffs, so it's easier to find the career counselor or the person who is going to kind of be someone you can get in contact with who will who will move it on to the right people? Okay,.

A

D

Think that high schools might be better because they're an amount, the more looking to place people them universities, they're kind of trying to own people. So.

A

Get at the pad your resume and gets get experience, whereas in college it's like a steam camp may not necessarily be as direct to their future employment right because then, when you go into employment, I, don't care about collaboration! It's.

D

Making them named like at a college level- maybe we don't want to really call it a camp. You know college and above even I, think you, but we want us often that people who are doing the training in those contexts, so we actually more like it- is more about training, their facilitators, training instructors.

B

Another detail when it comes to training for corporations, something which.

C

B

Big in the corporate role is like design thinking so like open.

A

B

Design might be really might be branded okay, like combining design thinking with open.

A

Source looking.

D

That's true work.

B

Okay and and Jeremy also I would love to see your if you can share your contacts to like an example, email that you're attending today career counselors, because Siraj, who wants to do this camps in in Taiwan or Hong Kong, is also planning its to contact different schools as his way to get participants in future events.

E

Yeah I'll get I'll, get an email up. I'll put it in this in the Steenkamp blog here a couple of examples of what I've sent out. It's pretty.

A

Much a message over.

E

And over so can.

A

You share and share the contacts list with the group. Not it's not public, but just with some of us yeah.

E

I can do that I. Have it I have it all? You know like a spreadsheet.

A

So yeah that would be good.

E

It's all public right, so it's all you know it's all stuff, I found pretty much online or through you know some.

A

Okay, so the service we can give to the greater world is like say: somebody tries to copy this. They can more easily. There we go now. We can help others and start up if anyone's listening and spying in on this. This conversation buying.

B

An open-source.

A

A

Okay, Jessica: can you for next week's meeting? Can you do what Jeremy did absolutely yes,.

D

A

Now what we want to also talk about is the the certification so Jessica, when, when do you think you can get your your certification, exam you're, very.

D

You should finish it this weekend, yeah.

A

Did you practice it and start it? Yes,.

D

A

That's pretty good, so the Flyers are nice that works Raeleen on registrations. We need to have a click, final solution, yeah.

D

A

I will do is I'm gonna work on that I'm gonna, take like probably like over the next three months, just put significant time in to the marketing bill to develop this thing. So what I'm gonna do is follow up with a guy I met in Belize, which he wants to start essentially like OSC, mrs. Idaho and this guy's. Actually, a big builder he's uh yeah like a very successful builder and he's all over this stuff. Like, interestingly, like this one of these five legged dog who's entrepreneurial opens like very, very well-versed in open-source culture.

A

He read the book he actually found out about me or OSC through the zero marginal cost society book by Jeremy. Rifkin talked about this working there, so he's all over that very good contact. I'm gonna follow up with that. We actually talked about getting a mastermind together where we develop the marketing the the funnel and the products for that funnel I. Think that's like I could see it. It's there. It's in my mind we're gonna nail this and we're not gonna. Have that issue anymore.

A

A

What else do we want to talk about so.

B

If you want, you can invite me to the boxing yeah Marcus.

C

Might as well I'm.

A

Near some work on.

B

It earlier which, before it wants to, were.

A

You thinking about a click, funnel approach.

B

So what click funnel? No, that was more about well yeah, sure in one way, the outer layer would be a Twitter Facebook and Google Ads. So what's your do you have any like ethical or as open source ecology? How do we regard let's say Google, AdWords and.

A

No, it's fine, that's alright! We gotta use those mechanisms. So then we can find replacements like like once we're at a billion dollar brand. We'll definitely have a Google alternative right now. The Google alternatives suck.

A

So that's where it's at.

B

A

Then say it again, like Google presentations like we use Google presentations, all.

B

That yeah that's.

A

Gonna be critical for the incentive challenge, so.

B

A

B

Example, if we want to have good Facebook gas than we after that day, Facebook yeah that Pizza on our webpage to get the first targeting. So, though, Facebook and you.

A

Know I'm not opposed to it, but.

B

A

Things like in multiple places of Facebook is evil. We make sure like we never only put it on Facebook like we have it on yeah Google and Facebook yay. No, we post as much into the wiki as possible. I had a lot of this discussion with Peter who we talked about the heat ken could he's considering like so he's at a university. He can get students to do like an open-source version of Google Docs.

A

We consider that we, he might be able to get his students to do that like it would be like a year project for a couple of students, but ya know that's gonna come about. Don't have to worry about it. Now, there's an interesting point to bring about a thing like clickfunnels, because typically it's done for for just marketing like stupid stuff. We have to hack it essentially hack it to like.

A

Yes, we can use the mechanism, which is an effective way to captures people's attention and create a dialogue, but we want to hack that at every step that the content of what we're doing is just so different and I think we can have a major success in that, because we're gonna be quite different than we're gonna play by different rules. Then I, don't know what that really means like in practice, but I all I know is that how we go about it could be using this tool.

A

That's a well known marketing tool to really good ends. Typically ends like I'm, not I, don't see. Nonprofits use, like click funnels, like the formal full marketing protocol, that.

A

That for-profit thing things use so there'll be an interesting exercise. I'm I'm all over it, but but just we got to be very careful about the ethical aspects, simply that we're not being ethical throughout and we're not yeah I mean just business as usual. For us, we got to be ethical about what we do there cuz yeah yep, which is very interesting, because then we're going to be using kind of like mainstream tools to do very creative stuff, yep.

A

Okay, so I, don't know what else we can talk about right now, I'm gonna get to actually I need to publish that teacher video. So maybe you can benefit from that, and maybe we can start spreading it like that. Teacher video would be a cool thing within the whole click final platform too, because that's a pretty well made one out published on YouTube like in a little bit keywords.

A

Another one is. If we talk about marketing, let's, let's get a bunch, a hundred keywords, top keywords for a steam slash summer, X, slash incentive challenge which is all related, and then we could talk about targeted campaigns like even it's kind of gets into like some of the substance behind a click funnel thing, but like for targeted marketing, I think we can possibly spend some dollars on like Facebook targeted ads. So let's start with some really really really good keywords. So maybe we can go over that next week.

A

There's a page on the wiki called keywords: I just put a category there's steam and some rocks so open source design, thinking steam camps for high school, open source team camps. I! Guess we should always we have to test those. How do we test the the keywords by googling and seeing how many things come up and whether its policy is the first one to get there or oh.

B

If you want to test things for Google, then you shouldn't use the normal Google platform, because that that one would be tailored for you. There is a special one which you can use, which is kind of user agnostic.

B

Was a long time ago, I'll use it, though see if I can find it again, let's see and for Facebook ads than if we use Facebook Peaks, although we don't actually need to collect our own keywords. Instead, what it would do is through the code on the web page, it would gather information of people who visit the people and then we kind of catch it.

B

It will capture an audience and profile of the audience and then we can copy that profile and say we wants to send out our ad to this fifth type of people and it's copy paste. So we don't need to actually add any keywords: our results for the Google Apps yours, oh.

A

So you got you're looking for it.

B

A

You looking for what this is.

B

So for the Facebook part, it's something we can use off the world countries in the beginnings in the beginning. Wouldn't it tell us a little bit, but while with tests that can capture data and capture profiles from guru clicks, what's.

A

It called it's.

B

Called I think it's called Facebook pixel.

B

Seen some introductions pirates or know how it works, I haven't used myself, I've.

E

uh I've been working on a friend who does marketing even with Microsoft for a while, and he does they're like did online marketing for them and trying to get him to to commit to helping us a little bit so he's probably a week or two out before. He can really commit the time, but I'm real hopeful that he'll jump in here soon and help us.

A

Okay sounds good.

A

A

And the last thing is Jeremy: did you do any additional work on any on the pi PI tablet? That's the only outstanding thing for the next team. Can we want to make a little forward progress, which would mean specialized cables right.

E

So I I, you can get it into a free, limited bezel like length and width if you do screen, but it's yeah I have a a rough design for a case that should get it in close I. Think Chris, actually, maybe what she yeah.

F

Oh I, your geremy, and they don't want a 1.2, nozzle and it'll. Definitely some tight fit so I was gonna, go in and and almost some things out to make to.

C

Make sure everything will fit with a couple of changes, although.

F

It wasn't fitting on my d3d platform.

C

So I printed on a larger printer.

D

Light for 1.2 on.

F

So what I'm wanting to try and do is try a two-piece print to priest enclosure print before the for the at least for the outside. What.

A

About what about what happened to the 4d print, can we do that.

E

So a couple different things, I think for the back panel. You could do it, but it was really hard.

C

E

Get the bezel to print and like the notch for the where the screen mounts into to be consistent. You changed the angle and it's really hard to fold because it's you know it's fairly I, build it fairly, thick I suppose we could make it thinner. Well,.

A

E

But even with the perforation, because there's like an agree change where the bezel so I can't do it all right. There's like a piece for the bezel and then it's a 90 up kind of like.

F

Yeah, so what I was.

C

Thinking was turn.

F

My video on for just a quick second was a two piece talking bottom through these dovetail enclosure.

C

That was one would come from the top one would come from the bottom, like I did for a cigar match cases that we made a couple of years ago.

F

Basically, it would be two pieces that would be printed up right and nobody would also have more access to detail for your holes and stuff. Then, in the XY plane, these.

D

Sorts of enclosures, at least that's how Production Engineering wise, has work done better when.

F

I've had to make a lot of enclosures and, in a short amount of time, especially print.

E

F

To print out, so that's the design that idea that I have for this some wine. So we just.

A

Are you guys is that uh part leg break for the Raspberry Pi tablet, the working doc? Are you hiding that away this.

F

Thing this no I haven't put it off. I haven't put it up the item, you buy it by the way and.

C

F

It up on to computer yet but I mean there's this thing to know your projects and years ago that I'm drawing from I will be working in the end of my time, working dog, which ones I touch based. I wanted to now recreate.

C

What Jeremy had done first.

F

Before starting a new.

C

Direct you know taking a new direction or anything so I want to verify his alignment and arrangement with account that he's done and.

F

A

To build a two-piece puzzle around it like that nice deep, are we meeting tomorrow for the follow-up on the PI tablet or nobody's got product on it? Should we try to try email everybody on that, because we were supposed to remember. We said a month ago kind.

C

A

Meat on a pi tablet: yeah, should we do that for an hour so.

A

D

I know but I'll play catch up. We could still meet and see how we yeah.

A

Yeah, let's, let's meet for an hour and kind of really focus on that see what we have do. We think we're gonna need specialized cables, just the 90 degree cables or.

C

D

Thought we don't need a prototype duty. We still need to whole thing working before worrying, about which.

A

For me, it works already works right, adding.

D

Adding functionality I'm ready for the phone Mike.

A

Before you put an enclosure, no yeah Jessica, we got to do an enclosure for a basic first before you talk about the Raspberry Pi phone, no.

D

Like a phone I can make it work from that box. I have okay.

A

D

My phone I'd be so happy.

A

I, don't know I'm taking them art.

D

And trying to just hook it in yeah.

A

Well, we're gonna have good five days. I mean we're well building on a last steam camp from last time, so we're gonna have good well, not five days we have on just one day. We have that, so we have to get that in decent shape, where we can print out a basic thing. That's just basically package to what we have already. So maybe we could get our brains around that tomorrow, yeah.

D

E

I think, with a stand, the cables I think it's no need to bring the battery pack on board. We're not gonna, pin a bit from it, because the five orders got a thickness that really can't get around. So when we want to integrate batteries in there, then we.

A

C

A

Good, but just some noise back there was a Chris or Jeremy okay.

E

So I yeah Oh, we'll talk tomorrow about it. Okay,.

A

Okay, um let's do it so on the calendar. I would have there.

A

That's good I like it that we're doing a little bit.

A

Can we do to 2 p.m. 2 to 3 or 1 to 2.

D

Even those times are fine for me. Okay,.

A

F

Jeremy said soon to be related.

A

F

Yeah afternoon, for me any anytime.

B

A

Csd yeah pi tablet.

C

A

That'd be good, that's Saturday, yeah, I'll, email, the other crew, see if I'm, not sure any I didn't haven't, heard anybody playing with a PI tablet. On the European side, I mean that's pretty cool for.

C

What is there like.

A

A nice fed right like Jamie, you can say that the fit is pretty decent there. What you, having a picture in a google photos.

E

Yeah, it is good in one direction.

E

Across the other, we.

C

Could end up some flex in.

E

My print because of the split.

A

A

Quick question there: what do you? What are those three wires on the back there? Is that why.

E

So the they're labeled in there there one is a power and one is a I think it's like d+ and d-, and those are actually one to ground and once t positive ones, d-. Those.

C

Are the USB.

E

Connections so by soldering to those paths you don't need to put a USB into the side for the touchscreen and by using the power there's another set of pads. I solder to to get rid of the power connection. Oh is.

A

That pretty robust and safe to do are you gonna bust, a nut on the natural screen there I.

E

Thought it was pretty easy because that's the circuit board is spaced off of the screen by probably a half a mil or more I mean.

A

Okay, we can try that Chris. Do you like that? I like it, because that gets us to nice compact compactness. There.

A

Oh, you soldered the USB on the back so that we don't have the big USB thing hanging out off the side. Yeah. Yes,.

F

I think that's great. It could.

A

Be really good that would liberate the need of the specialized cables. We just got to rip up another USB cable, which is fine right.

F

A

There should be plenty for yeah, okay,.

A

Yep I found it off Jeremy log, and this is what I'm looking at. Is there.

A

Okay, cool, okay: let's do it I'll email, the whole group really fast for the follow-up session and.

A

Let's continue tomorrow, Chris you've got one guy signed up to your place. There's another guy he's a farrier.

C

A

Who does nice shoes a digital horse, shoe man.

A

F

A

You probably have two people so far, but yeah all right and then I'm planning on New, Zealand so and then Jeremy's got this plastic. It's possible Jeremy. Do you? Does it sound, like those guys already like March early more like the March March date or no.

A

Okay, well, we can.

D

A

So, let's maybe continue that the discussion tomorrow for.

C

A

C

A

Do you think the March cuz, because we were lining up this High School in the Seattle area there? Do you think they're gonna be ready for this 14th or later than that.

A

Don't know okay, anything else we want to cover, or should we to take off from here.

B

um Should we set up a meeting well.

A

We're supposed to on a calendar we've got that I've got it on my calendar for every week. Did you guys do you guys have that Friday? This thing, yeah yeah.

B

A

B

Discuss the marketing mix, it's Friday, yeah.

A

Yeah continue the marketing how far we got on the marketing and by that time maybe we'll actually have some actually on yeah yeah I want to carry the clickfunnels discussion further and what all we need to get in there and doesn't get it and get a mastermind going on that I'll talk to the guy I met in Belize and.

F

Any other documentation.

A

We need on the phone before this next yeah. uh What about it? Sorry, I.

F

Know that video from I'm, knowing that there's kind of this going on what are the things that are still missing, at least from my perspective, more documentation, I'll need four yeah.

A

We can we can ask Peter to maybe like he's decent on the kicad I wanted to do a key cut like if we can translate like I'll ask Peter if he has time to simplify the Arduino to like a one channel Arduino that we can actually begin designing in kicad as a basic lesson. Yeah kicad is uh that's a big component.

A

I want to get better at this time around yeah see if we can do it, but beyond that, if we can get a decent case for the Raspberry Pi tablet, it could be a pleasant experience. Now. I was thinking for this time around just do an off-the-shelf battery pack. You guys cool with that yeah, because you can get those I think pretty cheap, like 15 bucks or something.

F

The charge controller and.

A

We just put it on a USB.

F

Power pack, if we all got the same USB power pack, we could integrate that into part of the case to be eventually replaced by the.

A

Proper missing my own yeah, yeah, yeah I, think we're designing and always keeping in mind how how this will scale and yeah.

C

A

Modified yeah by all means.

F

Everyone, that's pretty close. There might be function, there's probably one faster, but I'm gonna, look on see if we can find I can find the USB battery pack. That's almost the same dimensions as our stack. Oh.

A

Yeah yeah and it does yeah they'll be cool, and it doesn't have to be that bit well, it gets really quite small just with like five batteries yeah. That would be like a really functional long life baby thing.

A

Okay, okay, so let's let's and also Chris, just the last thing: do you think you could do the video I got to do the video twofer because I got past my exam I might not get certified to teach us these chances.

F

A

You could do it in eight minutes tomorrow, no I mean you can do it, but yes, see if you can get it up, so we have a paper trail for the authorities. You know just know like, for example, when I'm talking to two people, it's like I, can you know I can show them like what what we're able to do. Jeremy's video is pretty cool. I mean he kind of took the the first lead on it. It's a basic thing: it's might not win an Academy Award, but it's it's a very informative video.

A

A

A

Okay, well, that's that sounds good, so I think I think we're good for now so we're talking tomorrow, I do p.m. hi hi discussion. I'll send an email on that right now,.

A

Anything else are we pretty good for now.

A

Okay, all right guys. Well, thank you so much. This is good, we'll continue and improving our products as we go forward and scaling the steam camps. Okay,.

A

Sounds good all.

B

Right cut line, okay,.

E

Take care guys thank you, buddy good, to see him good to see y'all.
