4. Staff Updates As a reminder CC STC leadership team – this list is meant to cover all open items with staff. If there are ANY open issues that you are waiting on staff for please make sure they are on this list. • Course work for CLOUD 2013- staff agrees with your assessment that these cannot be offered in a price range that LJ finds acceptable, so this is now closed – please inform us if your view of this item is different Jia? • Blog post – staff strongly encourages you to not wait until commenting is in place. This is live and linked to in numerous places. • Question on TCS/collaboration with conferences – we’ll make sure this is discussed with Martin in the weekly updates staff has with him

5. Staff Updates • Template for newsletter – we should have this in the next few days • There had been a request from the conferences group for a leads email list, but a request for what the name of the list should be is still outstanding Jia? • Please submit preliminary prioritized list of conferences to have either trifold brochure or prototype magazine sent to by April 15. Prioritized list is needed as funding is limited, and publication costs will be traded off with shipping costs. Same as previous weeks but low priority • Waiting on Staff - 9x11 flyer – also in the hands of staff, but because of the additional work with the tri-fold this will be delayed (Jan 11) • Waiting on Vol - Marketing plan – still waiting on a clear, focused goal on the volunteer side before continuing discussions, timing flexible (Dec 15)

6. Newsletter Leader Wes Chou • Added chair welcome and volunteer postings • View document at http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cloudcomputing/Newsletter/

7. Questions • It is the High-Tech Wild, Wild West out there. • Although the CC marketplace is still chaotic, it is: • Exciting • Fast-growing • Full of opportunities.
