We have decided that we are going to be doing major planning on writing articles for the Adventure now. For all of the coming issues, we will, during the first meeting of each month, be coming up with ideas that we can write about and signing up for what everyone is going to be writing about. This will probably eliminate most of the problems that we've been having, since the actual writing of the article isn't the hard part, it is what to write about. As well, each issue is going to have a focus to it. The focus for this issue is Young Entrepenuers(sp?). We would ideally like all of the articles in the issue to pertain to that topic, so we need more articles. These articles would mainly be the ones for the Junior Acheivement Conference, but anything doing with the focus is good. As well, we have extended the deadline for this issue. Instead of having to turn them in this sunday, the deadline has been extended for a week and a half.
As well, we have decided that we are going to try to increase our circulation of the newsletter once per quarter to include and additional 800-3000 venturers in the columbus area. While this may cost additional production costs, we can then change the type of person that reads the newsletter to about a 16-18 age group. This means that it will be significantly easier to get advertisers. During the times when the newsletter has its increased circulation, the newsletter will have a more youth oriented feeling. During the other 8 months of the year we will try to maintain technicall focused.
In the future we are also going to create each issue of the newsletter a month in advance. This will give us time to edit the columns for grammatical and technical accuracy.(but we shouldn't get much of that last inaccuracy) We will talk about topics that we will work on in tuesday's meeting.
Finally, we discussed the project that we are trying to accomplish of the oracle database. The people who attended the meeting will be writing short letters and posting them on the reflector. These letters will contain short ideas of what we want in a letter to send to a company asking for software. Please make sure to read them. We will be trying to compound them into one letter before class on tuesday.
Okay, so it wasn't that short, but we did accomplish much. ;)
