Agenda

Goals for the board

• Let's continue the discussion on Github
• Alyssa would love to see 5 goals before the end of the year

SOTM US Design

• Martijn: The CartoDB had a bit more personality, but the Tristan one is
• Alyssa: CartoDB reflects the New York theme nicely, fits the "Made in NY"
• Ian: Liked the colors from Tristan, CartoDB is a pretty nice logo
• Alex: CartoDB layout is not as well put together
• Randy: Like the CartoDB logo, will send an e-mail because I have to drop off
• Alyssa: Summary-- Randy had a good feedback loop with CartoDB, there was one concern that we couldn't hear.
• Alyssa: Liked the lightness, optimism in the CartoDB logo.
• Alex: Should I go back to Tristan, can we work with CartoDB's logo?
• Alyssa: That would be amazing. CartoDB is in support of working together.
• Eleanor: We credit both firms for working together
• Alex: It's not going to match exactly, but it'll be inspired by it
