Meeting Minutes February 27th

I showed a link to http://www.durango.org. They have a great calendar site I thought and so we talked about how interesting it is to have the filters.

I then demonstrated a way that we can use google calendar. We could filter calendar print outs by group / category. The implementation looked very promising. The group was very positive and thought that this method would really work. There are many details to get worked out in terms of process and we will need some sort of outreach so that we can get all the groups involved. Lora and Barb were to discuss technical details with Caleb.

An aside:
-------------
Many of the technical details have been worked out. Caleb has a working prototype in a development environment but it needs a smidge more work and Barb is writing the "How Tos" so that we can get everyone playing. She is setting up the necessary permissions, etc. to get this done. Within the next week or so, this will be operational is what we think.

Thanks Caleb, Barb, and Lora. Barb will update us at the next meeting in more detail.

We discussed further psychographics and what need we were fulfilling. I will send out the brainstorms shortly.

The Folks from CAC came by and discussed the program they do for us on our behalf. They run coloradoinfo.com, coloradosummerinfo.com, and coloradowinterinfo.com. On a typical day, they have 650 unique site visitors. They send out a newsletter to their email list. This service is free (sort of) and requires time and energy and giveaways to make it happen.

I think we need 2 people to get with Rennie and get one out in late April or Early May. I would be willing to put up some lodging or maybe Lora would too. Perhaps we can get some tickets to the museum, a couple of pool passes and put together a weekend getaway. Who will volunteer to get this done?

CAC also distributes our Ouray Visitor's Guide in DIA, along the I-70, and I-25 corridors, at trade shows. They provided the statistics in a handout.

Meeting adjourned.
