Slack Standup

Board membership filing

Paperwork around incorporation was handed over to A&P last week
- Though the incorporation and nonprofit application are serial, it's assumed that A&P is working on both in parallel
We wanted to get minimum number of folks to get simple majority
- As soon as incorporation happens we can adjust the board membership as we see fit
- Current positions:
  - President - Kristin
  - Chair - Eddie
  - Treasurer - Alec
  - Secretary - Josh

Splunk

Splunk is an incredible initial solution for aggregating the data
- Helps us make informed analysis on the data that we have
- Helps us visualize raw trends
- Provides marketing real estate for the work we’re doing; a lot of the work we’ve been doing so far isn’t particularly “visual”, so this bridges the visual gap
- Minimal constraints around uploading the data for free
First Splunk meeting went well. We’ll need to address a few questions around the technical aspects of the partnership
- Self hosting or cloud?
  - What does the payment plan need to look like?
    Cloud storage
    Higher data velocities
    Any computation
  - Self hosting would be enterprise with a 10 GB limit
  - We’re currently using their cloud for free, just a few limitations around how much/often data can be uploaded
- Given our needs and in terms of the offerings, what would be best for us?
- Data transformation offerings/advice for incongruent field values
Questions around limitations on users/licenses/credentials
Next meeting this Friday at 2:30 PM CDT
Goal of one visual product with caption per week?
- It’s incredibly important to show the measure of our work, even in bits and pieces, to the public at large

Assign newsletter chunks

Did not get a chance to talk about this at length

Open-Source CRM?

We wanted to spin up some sort of CRM to help the internal comms team
- We’ll de-prioritize this (but ultimately leave it to the team on what they want to do)

Infrastructure

Reaching out to Dave but we’ll touch base with Richard and strap down a plan on how to move forward

Adjust the weekly slack bot to use a single question to query for topics to talk about for the cadence
Open-Source CRM not a current priority
