Startup Weekend Atlanta

Lance: come see the important legal forms you have to sign.

Jason: mini-rant (but he’s probably right): Ideally, we need one person from each of the other groups — everything keeps changing, we’re going nowhere (product dev guy says “it’s happening.”) There is still a lot of stuff that has to get done. Until we can get more stuff organized, no way we will finish by tomorrow afternoon. Got to get it under control. Marketing doing UI and UI doing marketing — it’s gotta stop.

Dev: Issue of how to authenticate people. We’ve hit a wall. But here’s some other stuff: 1) front page, needs style; 2) links between suggestions and users; 3) Code to paste into blog. Everybody claps.

Creative: splash page; logo ideas 1, 2, and 3. Lots of people yelling one, a couple of twos, and then the inevitable “vote.” Number 1 wins handily. Check BaseCamp for the color chart.

www.skribit.com/blog/: works? doesn’t work?

Smartass comment when the Apache error page came up. (Cut ‘em a break: how many of those do you see at Startup Weekend presentations?)

BizDev: competitive analysis looking good

Marketing: wrapping up marketing plan, working on press release, and drinking beer.

Lance: Everyone is on their own for dinner. (It was “communicated,” he says, but don’t sidetrack Lance w/ PBwiki usability issues.) Someone is needed to leave the building and scope out food for lunch tomorrow.

Usability: mockups/wireframes done, talked to marketing and bizdev about an “issue,”

–do we show the blogger the name of who is making the suggestion?

Let’s get everyone in a room to work it out. How do we make the decision? What would a blogger do?
