Minutes

Heather reviewed the summary of our discussion on this topic from our EC Meeting discussion. We followed up on actions from our last meeting and the EC Meeting.

We reviewed initial communications and decided to start with the following two items; Tomitribe designer will work on options for our next meeting.

1) EC Members raise awareness in community of their use and need for Java developers. Create a banner for EC Members to utilize on social media. EC Members utilize Java in running their business. There is a demand for Java developers in the industry. EC Members need developer talent who know how to develop using Java technology. We want to raise awareness in community of EC Member use and need for Java developers.

Utilize the EC Member logo only - no mods or color changes.

2) Create a Duke personality for Java in Education initiatives - no logos or cup and steam.
