On Tuesday, 2008-06-24 18:00 (GMT-4), LS Net convened a Galax Prime Sirloin buffet dinner meeting and brainstormed the defining marketing qualities of our community. Attendees were Jim Tarvid, Jeff Miller, Barbara Jarrett, Robert "Woody" Woodside, Amy Jarrett, and Barb Tarvid. Amy's attendance was delayed, by employment obligations, until 19:15. The topic, scheduled for discussion, was "Marketing LS Net."

The consensus of LS Net finds our portfolio needing adjustment. Jim proposed several items:

• include the Stewart Furniture website as a Drupal reference
• template qualification letters
• template declaration of intent
• staff profiles

To address the last adjustment, Jim posed a question to all in attendance: "What do you want to do?"

Barb and Jim, previously, participated in discussion of their driving passions. Emails of their findings are not yet available to staff. Remedy of the staff deficit was vaguely hinted.

Jeff defined his primary public passion as helping people. A brief, informal discussion supported Jeff's lead hardware technician role for providing a satisfactory conduit to that passion. Jeff agreed: his current role allows significant satisfaction to his passion. More opportunities to provide technical support will improve Jeff's passion fulfillment.

Woody flippantly defined his passion as being a professional guest. After he elaborated temporal and contributive qualities, the group assisted in a more refined definition: Woody is passionate about consulting. Woody proposed satisfaction to his passion could improve by leading more experience camps. Jim submitted: greater satisfaction might come from leading corporate seminars and managing consultations. Woody agreed with group suggestions that additional sources for fulfillment might develop from relationships with conventional schools, community centers, and employment security centers.

Jim noted a current dearth of client prospects and proposed a renewed campaign for attention to a select group of organizations. In particular, Jim suggested extending offers of attention to AFL-CIO, UMC and other upper-to-top level church organizations, entrepreneurial incubators, and progressive political organizations.

The next meeting was tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, 2008-07-01 18:00 (GMT-4), at the Tarvid homestead. The official meeting schedule will be determined after all members submit their schedule considerations via staff email. The meeting adjourned at approximately 20:00 (adjournment time needs verification).
