November 20th Meeting Notes

November 26, 2008 at 10:15 am · Filed under About NeXtGen Digest ·Tagged , ,

Thanks to Stephanie O’Shaugnessey, the PCNRC intern, for compiling the notes. You will see much more detail here about the meeting:

  • We toured the beautiful Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana building and ate many cookies
  • We talked a lot about the future of NeXtgen and where we want it to go in the future.  The main topics discussed were a schedule for next year and possible changes to the structure of the group.
  • Lettie showed a clip from Sierra Bravo’s Overnight Website Challenge (www.f1webchallenge.com) which garnered much excitement all around and a proposal to something similar here. Hilary A., Brent W., Andy H., and Leslie A. were all willing to help out (particularly the during the 24 hours).
  • Brent W. talked about the Allen County Summit of Youth
