What are the small things we’re not doing right?<br>
* No promotion, not even signs at events<br>
* Truth! We'll work on this, esp. for events in public venues<br>
* Not good at saying whether or not we have food<br>
* Ah! Good point! We'll make a point of declaring this up front<br>
* State up-front datetimes of meetings, don’t force people to follow a link<br>
* Basic usability: FAIL. We'll include datetimes up front in future emails & postings<br>
* SV.pm had recruiters at the events. Should we do this?<br>
* Bay Area Perl companies?<br>
* craigslist?<br>
* Shutterstock<br>
* CrowdTilt<br>
* Black Rock<br>
* High Paradigms<br>
* bpress<br>
* Aruba (south bay)<br>
* Ariba (south bay)<br>
* Others?<br>
* Do they even work with recruiters?<br>
<br>
Questions:<br>
* What resources do our members use/read on the internet?<br>
* Can post events, discussions there<br>
* Look to see what gaps there are in these resources & fill them outselves<br>
* Twitterverse: Who'd like to come speak at SF.pm?<br>
* VMB has tweeted already; more needed throughout year<br>
