Extracted Content: Sheri Salazar: Are you sure I got it all head's kinda small.
  Mable Donnelly: How're
  Sheri Salazar: Okay.
  Mable Donnelly: we placed in terms of the alright.
  Sheri Salazar: We're okay?
  Kristian Wright: I should probably try sit straight.
  Corinne Edwards: Like that? Okay, cool.
  Sheri Salazar: We're good?
  Kristian Wright: Oh, I think mine's fallen off.
  Mable Donnelly: It fell That's why.
  Sheri Salazar: I guess it's gonna be hard to drink coffee. Mm. Uh okay.
  Mable Donnelly: Ah.
  Corinne Edwards: Okay? Right, so I'm just gonna start this PowerPoint real quick.
  Kristian Wright: Wow.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah, PowerPoint.
  Sheri Salazar: Very official.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah, well, you know,
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah I kinda like this I'm kinda getting into it. Right. Um. So just to kick off the meeting basically um so we're working now for a real reaction, this is uh so it right. Just got an agenda to set out what we're gonna try to accomplish in this particular first meeting. Um We're gonna just do a quick opening and we can hopefully all get acquainted with one another um then we're gonna start talk a little bit about tool training. Essentially that means getting used to the only thing that we haven't tried out yet, the whiteboard. Um we've got a general plan for the project how we're gonna go about accomplishing this and then just a bit of discussion close up. Um I guess you know game or something um in real life um so yeah basically I want to I'm just gonna you got of course you can discuss that, I'm thinking about um uh proposing that since we've got this weird blend of ourselves and our roles that we just don't ask, don't tell. Um so um if you say something about marketing, right, sorted, um
  Sheri Salazar: You're just
  Corinne Edwards: y
  Sheri Salazar: gonna
  Corinne Edwards: is
  Sheri Salazar: believe Sheri Salazar, we'll go from there.
  Corinne Edwards: Exactly.
  Sheri Salazar: Fair enough.
  Corinne Edwards: Um I mean obvi if if you guys if if at the same time if you like logically if something doesn't like if I'm like we're gonna sell a remote control that's the size of this paper book you know um you say like well that doesn't seem like such a good idea because of X_ obviously go with it. I mean we'll discuss it but I'm not gonna ask do you know that or uh yeah it seems like
  Sheri Salazar: Prove it yeah,
  Corinne Edwards: yeah yeah exactly
  Sheri Salazar: okay.
  Corinne Edwards: so, 'cause we're what we're sort of role playing is y g yeah you're gonna tap into your own knowledge as well um. And that's the same for your when we do introductions I mean um and you talk about your background you know have fun, you know maybe you went to um uh you know maybe i you're like in Maine you went to U_C_S_B_ but you wanna say you went to Harvard or something like that, why not, you know you can this is you know I guess we can have a little bit of fun with it. So are you guys okay with that does that seem logical?
  Kristian Wright: Oh yeah, that's fine.
  Mable Donnelly: Sure.
  Sheri Salazar: Works for Sheri Salazar.
  Corinne Edwards: Sweet. Cool. So I guess that that we're totally we're making a remote control which is
  Kristian Wright: Right.
  Corinne Edwards: thrilling um uh but the idea is that we can make something based on the whole corporate model I dunno if you guys had time to check the in real life I dunno if you guys uh checked the um uh the corporate website. Um we've got to make something as fashionable as possible, that's kind of the corporate strategy is we're gonna try to take ordinary stuff that nobody really thinks about and try to make it nice you know like John Lewis nice or you know if you go to Debenham's or something. So um basically we are reinventing the wheel but we wanna try to do it in a user friendly um slick sleek kind of way. Um way we're gonna go about doing that is basically at first we're gonna start on the basics. And that's where I'm gonna need you guys the User Interface Designers and the um um the other designer that I can't remember, the the I_D_ and the U_I_D_ right um Kristian Wright hey
  Mable Donnelly: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: right on
  Sheri Salazar: There
  Corinne Edwards: alright,
  Sheri Salazar: you go.
  Corinne Edwards: getting into it um to guide Sheri Salazar and guide us on this project 'cause you're gonna be you're g you guys are the bottom you know you're like no you can't do that you can't have you know X_ and Y_ um at the same time. And then um we'll work up from what is necessary to more like what would be good, you know like um I I think you guys probably got the same emails I did but the idea of um, yes a coffee pot needs to be able to hold coffee but it's also better if it's not like really cheap glass so that it if you touch it you hurt your hand, or something like that. Um and so we'll work up from there and um then we'll meet on and talk about it and then finally we'll incorporate as kind of the last stage you know where you guys build or tell Sheri Salazar tell us what's possible and then you tell us what we can um hope for and what way to go take the the the take the basics and make it nicer and then ov obviously uh the U_I_D_ and the I_D_ you know you you can keep on the you know sort of at the cutting edge of how to get about maximising what is possible um to try t of sync it all up. So that's the detailed design. So it's a three stage kind of thing. Um right so for now just for th the white board um basically uh just to get used to it, I haven't tried it yet either um I'm just gonna start and um mm carry like five remotes around um and just write down I'm just gonna write down one of the names of my um desert discs you know if you if you were trapped on a desert island and you could only bring five C_D_s along with you name one of them that you could, not all five, if you wanna write all five go for it but name one of them that you could um. Oh, we skipped introductions. Nice. I'm a excellent Project Manager. Um. I'm Marty, um I went to uni at uh U_C_ Santa Barbara and I'm here working on a P_H_D_ in psychology. Um yeah. So
  Sheri Salazar: I'm Sarah, I went to Michigan, and I'm here doing cultural studies and I'm the Marketing Manager or something. Marketing,
  Corinne Edwards: Expert
  Sheri Salazar: Expert.
  Corinne Edwards: Don't
  Sheri Salazar: Expert.
  Corinne Edwards: play yourself down.
  Sheri Salazar: Fine.
  Corinne Edwards: Expert
  Sheri Salazar: That's Sheri Salazar.
  Mable Donnelly: I'm Ron. I uh once upon a time studied in Victoria and I am Mable Donnelly.
  Kristian Wright: I'm Nathan, I'm from California, and I'm here doing a Masters degree in social anthropology.
  Corinne Edwards: Where did you go to uni Nathan?
  Kristian Wright: U_C_L_A_.
  Corinne Edwards: Oh brilliant.
  Kristian Wright: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: Cool. My little brother goes there.
  Kristian Wright: Okay.
  Corinne Edwards: Right so desert island
  Sheri Salazar: So.
  Corinne Edwards: discs. Yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: So do we have to wait for you to write it down or are you gonna tell us?
  Corinne Edwards: Well
  Sheri Salazar: I'm
  Corinne Edwards: I'll t
  Sheri Salazar: waiting
  Corinne Edwards: i
  Sheri Salazar: to
  Corinne Edwards: no
  Sheri Salazar: know.
  Corinne Edwards: no yeah I'm just gonna write a couple of 'em down. See I'm a big music fan I don't know if you
  Sheri Salazar: Uh
  Corinne Edwards: guys are, I'm assuming everybody likes music to some lesser or greater extent but
  Sheri Salazar: Fair
  Corinne Edwards: there's
  Sheri Salazar: enough.
  Corinne Edwards: some other options, if you're a T_V_ slut like I am like Smallville terrible television
  Sheri Salazar: Oh,
  Corinne Edwards: show but I
  Sheri Salazar: Smallville.
  Corinne Edwards: happen to love it, it's rubbish but I love
  Sheri Salazar: I
  Corinne Edwards: it.
  Sheri Salazar: went to high school with Tom Willing actually.
  Corinne Edwards: T the the main c the
  Sheri Salazar: The
  Corinne Edwards: main
  Sheri Salazar: guy.
  Corinne Edwards: character? Wow.
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: Is he a wanker?
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah. Very much so. Hell of a soccer player but a total bastard nonetheless.
  Corinne Edwards: He looks really tall, like he's gotta
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: be like six six.
  Sheri Salazar: He is a big guy.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: Um okay so I really like Jeff Buckley. You guys heard of Jeff Buckley?
  Sheri Salazar: Mm-hmm.
  Kristian Wright: Mm-hmm.
  Corinne Edwards: Um that's cool 'cause like not very many people have. Um and um oh well I might as well throw a British person in there um you can't go wrong with Radiohead. It's a r
  Sheri Salazar: Good call.
  Corinne Edwards: Okay so it really works just like a pen only makes noises I think. It's kinda weird. Anyway
  Sheri Salazar: Interesting.
  Corinne Edwards: yeah. Yeah, you're like press and it's. Kinda cool. You'll see. Alright so um whoever wants to get up next, you can write down some telly that you watch or whatever you want.
  Sheri Salazar: I guess I'll go next then.
  Mable Donnelly: Go
  Corinne Edwards: Right
  Mable Donnelly: for
  Corinne Edwards: on.
  Mable Donnelly: it.
  Sheri Salazar: Okay. Don't wanna lose all my mikes, plugged in here. Okay. This is basically just pen practice huh?
  Corinne Edwards: W
  Sheri Salazar: Okay. Oh you're much taller than Sheri Salazar so I'm gonna write down here. Um. Right now I'm listening to a lot of somebody nobody's ever heard of, Chris Bathgate,
  Corinne Edwards: Mm.
  Sheri Salazar: local Michigan folk singer,
  Corinne Edwards: Nice.
  Kristian Wright: Wow.
  Sheri Salazar: really lame and uh uh what else did I bring with Sheri Salazar? Probably classical, to totally geek
  Corinne Edwards: Okay
  Sheri Salazar: it out,
  Corinne Edwards: yeah yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: yeah I think. And my family guy D_V_D_s
  Corinne Edwards: Well
  Sheri Salazar: but
  Corinne Edwards: yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: we don't need to write that one down.
  Corinne Edwards: Oh, family
  Sheri Salazar: So
  Corinne Edwards: guy. Isn't h has
  Sheri Salazar: yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: h do you watch the new season?
  Sheri Salazar: No. Are you getting it online, or is it
  Corinne Edwards: I
  Sheri Salazar: on
  Corinne Edwards: think I'm gonna
  Sheri Salazar: sky?
  Corinne Edwards: start downloading it yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah, that'd be nice.
  Mable Donnelly: Alright. Think I'm just gonna put down one uh one C_D_.
  Mable Donnelly: Anybody?
  Corinne Edwards: Mm-mm.
  Kristian Wright: No.
  Mable Donnelly: No?
  Sheri Salazar: 'Fraid

  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: I'm going
  Sheri Salazar: Slide
  Corinne Edwards: local.
  Sheri Salazar: it in there.
  Corinne Edwards: Going
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: local. I have to be here for three years so I might
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah
  Corinne Edwards: as
  Sheri Salazar: fair
  Corinne Edwards: well get
  Sheri Salazar: enough.
  Corinne Edwards: the terminology right.
  Sheri Salazar: I've already got more than I can keep track of. And I'm gonna go home next week and everyone's gonna be like oh my God you're turning
  Corinne Edwards: Oh,
  Sheri Salazar: into one of those people,
  Corinne Edwards: have you been home yet?
  Sheri Salazar: no.
  Corinne Edwards: They'll be like, say something British, and you're like
  Sheri Salazar: I
  Corinne Edwards: oh shut
  Sheri Salazar: know.
  Corinne Edwards: up family.
  Sheri Salazar: I
  Mable Donnelly: Uh-huh.
  Sheri Salazar: know.
  Kristian Wright: Um
  Sheri Salazar: Oh it should be interesting. Wait until I
  Kristian Wright: Let's
  Sheri Salazar: tell them I'm
  Kristian Wright: see.
  Sheri Salazar: not coming back. They're gonna love that one.
  Corinne Edwards: Right you s you're gonna stay here?
  Sheri Salazar: Probably. Or at
  Corinne Edwards: Wow.
  Sheri Salazar: least get a work visa for a while and then decide. 'Cause
  Corinne Edwards: Bad
  Mable Donnelly: Nice.
  Corinne Edwards: religion?
  Kristian Wright: Yeah,
  Sheri Salazar: nice.
  Kristian Wright: up listening to.
  Sheri Salazar: Of
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah
  Sheri Salazar: course.
  Corinne Edwards: yeah, yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: Oh,
  Kristian Wright: And
  Sheri Salazar: now I can think of so
  Kristian Wright: so
  Sheri Salazar: many other
  Kristian Wright: there
  Sheri Salazar: ones.
  Corinne Edwards: Well yeah that's why
  Sheri Salazar: That's how it works.
  Corinne Edwards: yeah.
  Kristian Wright: Something I miss about my hometown.
  Corinne Edwards: I miss coffee.
  Kristian Wright: Burritos
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Mable Donnelly: Nice.
  Corinne Edwards: Burritos.
  Sheri Salazar: Oh
  Kristian Wright: that cost less than
  Corinne Edwards: Oh yeah two two
  Sheri Salazar: Any
  Kristian Wright: eight
  Corinne Edwards: bucks.
  Kristian Wright: Pounds.
  Sheri Salazar: thing that are like free.
  Corinne Edwards: Where are you from in California by the way?
  Kristian Wright: I grew up in San Diego, but
  Corinne Edwards: Did you really? What
  Kristian Wright: yeah
  Corinne Edwards: part?
  Kristian Wright: um La Jolla, P_B_.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah I'm from San Diego as well.
  Sheri Salazar: Nice.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah oh
  Kristian Wright: But
  Corinne Edwards: man.
  Kristian Wright: really uh I last lived in San Francisco, I haven't lived in Cali well I haven't lived in southern California since I was eighteen.
  Corinne Edwards: Going to s like North Carol I'm sorry you you just can't get a better burrito than what's available in the s in San Diego.
  Kristian Wright: It's different. 'Cause in San Diego th the tortillas are cooked on the grill and in northern California they steam them.
  Sheri Salazar: It must make all the difference.
  Kristian Wright: Yeah, it really does.
  Corinne Edwards: Well it's it's i there's other things too there's you just can't
  Sheri Salazar: Ah.
  Corinne Edwards: place it like I when I went to school in the U_ in Santa Barbara which is central California the Mexican food is okay, it's just not good like
  Kristian Wright: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: and yeah it's like two bucks, like literally two bucks for this massive
  Sheri Salazar: Right.
  Corinne Edwards: I miss yeah good call on that.
  Kristian Wright: Yeah. Where you from in
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Kristian Wright: San Diego?
  Corinne Edwards: Um just literally just metropolitan San Diego, I live like five minutes from the zoo.
  Kristian Wright: Okay.
  Corinne Edwards: So North Park actually if you want to get real
  Kristian Wright: Yeah,
  Corinne Edwards: specific.
  Kristian Wright: my grandparents lived on um thirty second.
  Corinne Edwards: Yep.
  Kristian Wright: Close t uh do you know where Clare de Lune coffee shop
  Corinne Edwards: Yes.
  Kristian Wright: is, and
  Corinne Edwards: On university, yeah.
  Kristian Wright: Cafe Forte
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah it's actually like literally half a mile from my house.
  Kristian Wright: Cool.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah, pretty cool. Small world
  Kristian Wright: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: as we were discussing before. Especially when we're all from the same general region. Right so okay, success on the whiteboard.
  Sheri Salazar: There you
  Corinne Edwards: You can harness
  Sheri Salazar: go.
  Corinne Edwards: the awesome power
  Kristian Wright: Wow.
  Corinne Edwards: a little bit introductions we talked about some of our C_D_s and things we like about the city you know, I think we'll Um right so moving on to not fun stuff uh project finance. Um basically what we're trying to do is sell this remote for twenty five Euros. Um. This is what the finance department has told Sheri Salazar, the C_F_O_ but I don't know, I'm not sold on this, it's pretty dear, I mean twenty f that's like you know forty bucks for a remote. It would have to pretty much like do my laundry for Sheri Salazar.
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: Um so what we can maybe work on that a later but we're gonna make a lot on it, the profit aims to make fifty million Euros on it. Eur internationally. So um one of the things I I was gonna mention to you um you guys the designers is that um it m we probably need a rever it needs to be a universal remote control probably.
  Kristian Wright: Okay.
  Corinne Edwards: Um so something that could do
  Sheri Salazar: Makes
  Corinne Edwards: N_T_S_C_
  Sheri Salazar: sense.
  Corinne Edwards: as well as PAL as well as various other formats like if it's gonna control D_V_D_s
  Sheri Salazar: Uh.
  Corinne Edwards: but um you know I'll leave that to you guys but that's something that i i it is gonna be an international sold thing. Um but we wanna try to make it for twelve fifty. So we wanna try to make a hundred percent profit on it if we can. Um s right so um just to close up, I'm not sure how much time I've used mm next time right Project Manager, sorted. Um. Is uh we'll meet in another half an hour or so um and I'd like the um Industrial Designer to get ge think about what needs to be done, like what the basic function of it. Um U_I_D_ well yeah you right g your assignments are up there and you'll also get s assignments from in your email as well more spec specifics on what do do. Um mm basic and um so I need you to tell us what um we what the user's gonna
  Sheri Salazar: What
  Corinne Edwards: want.
  Sheri Salazar: they're looking for.
  Corinne Edwards: So actually in a way you guys c maybe in our next meeting chat a bit about what the user's gonna want and what the user can have, you know like uh
  Sheri Salazar: And negotiate
  Corinne Edwards: so
  Sheri Salazar: that.
  Corinne Edwards: yeah well it is
  Sheri Salazar: Uh.
  Corinne Edwards: and we'll discuss the trade-offs in between um so yeah specific instructions will be sent in your email. But I think that that is more or less a good place to start for now um and as more things come up we'll have meetings and you'll get emails and so forth. Um any questions, before we get started?
  Mable Donnelly: I assume that we're building a stand alone uh remote control, we can't kind of build it into other uh products.
  Corinne Edwards: You mean to like
  Mable Donnelly: For instance like a mobile phone or something
  Kristian Wright: Mm.
  Mable Donnelly: like that.
  Corinne Edwards: Hmm.
  Kristian Wright: Sounds interesting.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: I don't think there's any rules about it yet. So
  Kristian Wright: Maybe our personal coach will
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Mable Donnelly: Or or
  Kristian Wright: have something
  Mable Donnelly: you know
  Kristian Wright: to say about
  Mable Donnelly: can
  Kristian Wright: that.
  Mable Donnelly: we produ can we sell a remote control phone for twenty five pounds or less?
  Corinne Edwards: Well,
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: have a think about it. I mean
  Mable Donnelly: Yep. Okay.
  Corinne Edwards: I'm I'm certainly op it seems like yeah it
  Sheri Salazar: W
  Corinne Edwards: it seems like
  Sheri Salazar: yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: it's certainly do-able isn't it. I mean um or if we can't have a full mobile phone maybe a remote that has some other kind of useful
  Mable Donnelly: Mm-hmm.
  Kristian Wright: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: function. The clapper. No I mean no, good idea, good idea. We'll see what
  Kristian Wright: Maybe
  Corinne Edwards: see what
  Kristian Wright: a remote with changeable faces, like the faces that you can buy for phones.
  Sheri Salazar: I like
  Mable Donnelly: Nice.
  Sheri Salazar: the
  Corinne Edwards: Uh-huh
  Sheri Salazar: little cover
  Kristian Wright: Yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: thingies.
  Corinne Edwards: y I like that
  Mable Donnelly: Hot.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah. That's true, I guess we we probably have some time, maybe we should brainstorm a bit like what we wanna do, go back to um I don't really have any. Let Sheri Salazar bring up something about our basic goals here, what we want to accomplish. Uh project announcement. Ts ts ts
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah. Not so much.
  Sheri Salazar: Hmm.
  Corinne Edwards: All right we'll find them, we're on our own.
  Mable Donnelly: Now are we also discussing kind of our initial ideas at all
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah
  Mable Donnelly: here?
  Corinne Edwards: yeah let's do it, let's do.
  Mable Donnelly: S does anybody have any initial ideas?
  Corinne Edwards: I'm gonna go ahead and take notes on this too 'cause
  Sheri Salazar: Good idea. Start your minutes.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah I mean
  Sheri Salazar: Um
  Corinne Edwards: oh yeah right. So initial ideas.
  Sheri Salazar: Well it's pretty much given it's gonna be universal right,
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: we decided that already and it may be functioning for other things, as soon as you said that I was thinking like all the other things you could get a remote to do, like your microwave or your front
  Kristian Wright: Yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: door or like to have everything on one thing, but then, I've never been a fan of those huge remotes that have like a million buttons, you
  Kristian Wright: S
  Sheri Salazar: can't tell
  Corinne Edwards: Mm-hmm.
  Sheri Salazar: what they do.
  Kristian Wright: smaller's better. Simple.
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Mable Donnelly: But I'm thinking
  Sheri Salazar: Specific.
  Mable Donnelly: I'm thinking kind of P_D_A_ uh design so touch screen design rather
  Sheri Salazar: Okay.
  Mable Donnelly: than button
  Kristian Wright: Oh
  Mable Donnelly: so
  Kristian Wright: right.
  Mable Donnelly: that you
  Kristian Wright: That'd
  Mable Donnelly: can
  Kristian Wright: be different.
  Mable Donnelly: kind
  Sheri Salazar: Interesting.
  Mable Donnelly: of flip around all sorts of different things.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah that's slick isn't it. I mean like stylist yeah like a just
  Sheri Salazar: True.
  Corinne Edwards: a yeah. Right so we got five minutes more to chat about this, perfect. Um so we've got this kind of an idea of a trade-off between um
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: uh size and functionality.
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: Um
  Sheri Salazar: Right.
  Corinne Edwards: and
  Sheri Salazar: We
  Corinne Edwards: we
  Sheri Salazar: want
  Corinne Edwards: also
  Sheri Salazar: it to be munt multifunctional but at the same time if you get it to do too much you're not gonna be
  Kristian Wright: Yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: able to
  Mable Donnelly: Too
  Sheri Salazar: tell
  Mable Donnelly: confusing.
  Sheri Salazar: them apart,
  Kristian Wright: It's
  Sheri Salazar: that
  Kristian Wright: gonna be
  Sheri Salazar: whole
  Kristian Wright: too complicated,
  Sheri Salazar: yeah.
  Kristian Wright: too crowded with buttons and things.
  Corinne Edwards: I'm also gonna note
  Sheri Salazar: Hmm.
  Corinne Edwards: for future reference this idea of um so you like maybe like an L_ like a touch screen type of remote?
  Mable Donnelly: Mm-hmm.
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Mable Donnelly: Possibly.
  Corinne Edwards: I don't think one exists.
  Sheri Salazar: An interesting option.
  Corinne Edwards: Be a
  Kristian Wright: Needs
  Corinne Edwards: good idea.
  Kristian Wright: it needs one outstanding
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Kristian Wright: feature to set it apart from all the
  Sheri Salazar: Definitely.
  Kristian Wright: other remotes.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah all the other universal remotes. Um I don't know if there's such a thing out there, I guess we could do some uh do some research on or one of us could do some research on it about whether or not there are um multi-format like um you know PAL, N_T_S_C_, region one
  Sheri Salazar: Right.
  Mable Donnelly: I'm pretty sure there is. I mean I
  Corinne Edwards: Okay.
  Mable Donnelly: I have a friend who has a P_D_A_
  Corinne Edwards: Okay.
  Mable Donnelly: that he just
  Sheri Salazar: That
  Mable Donnelly: points at his telev any television he wants and
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Mable Donnelly: it'll figure out the the specifications of it and will control it
  Corinne Edwards: Interesting.
  Sheri Salazar: Awesome.
  Mable Donnelly: um
  Corinne Edwards: Okay.
  Mable Donnelly: so I th I assume that that can be done with uh kind
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: Okay.
  Mable Donnelly: of around the world.
  Corinne Edwards: Okay. Um all right. So. I li I'm liking that idea, this idea of a touch screen remote with multi-format features.
  Sheri Salazar: Mm-hmm.
  Corinne Edwards: Um.
  Kristian Wright: Right.
  Corinne Edwards: Um. Let's see.
  Kristian Wright: I think, making it out of a nice material would be very important, because so many of those remotes that you see, these universal
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Kristian Wright: remotes look so cheap and
  Corinne Edwards: Mm.
  Kristian Wright: low quality.
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah. Keeping it nice and slick, would be important. And I don't know, like, there's such a problem with losing them, that adding this whole like P_D_A_ pen
  Kristian Wright: Mm.
  Sheri Salazar: business is only one more thing to lose, so we're gonna have to be careful with
  Mable Donnelly: Oh.
  Sheri Salazar: what like Just something like keep in mind when we start actually dealing with this stuff but that would be really cool.
  Corinne Edwards: Uh let's see. Um.
  Mable Donnelly: I like the idea of the uh multi plate.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: yeah okay.
  Sheri Salazar: Fi
  Mable Donnelly: In
  Sheri Salazar: b like what
  Mable Donnelly: in
  Sheri Salazar: are they called, those face plate things? Isn't
  Corinne Edwards: Think
  Sheri Salazar: there
  Corinne Edwards: they're
  Sheri Salazar: a

  Corinne Edwards: face plates?
  Sheri Salazar: Are they?
  Corinne Edwards: I don't know.
  Kristian Wright: something,
  Sheri Salazar: I dunno.
  Kristian Wright: uh
  Mable Donnelly: I like.
  Kristian Wright: we'll have to come up with a name,
  Mable Donnelly: We
  Kristian Wright: patent
  Mable Donnelly: should
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Mable Donnelly: c
  Kristian Wright: it.
  Mable Donnelly: we should come
  Sheri Salazar: Something
  Mable Donnelly: up with
  Sheri Salazar: really
  Mable Donnelly: a fuzzy
  Sheri Salazar: cool.
  Mable Donnelly: one as well. For
  Sheri Salazar: Leopard
  Mable Donnelly: those cold

  Kristian Wright: Leopard
  Mable Donnelly: winter
  Sheri Salazar: or something.
  Kristian Wright: print.
  Mable Donnelly: days.
  Corinne Edwards: Um.
  Sheri Salazar: Hmm.
  Kristian Wright: I think, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have a like a locator device, maybe a simple button that you have on your television to help you find your remote.
  Sheri Salazar: True.
  Corinne Edwards: Mm. But if we're bundling it unless we're selling their telly with the remote.
  Sheri Salazar: Right.
  Kristian Wright: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: Um
  Mable Donnelly: Well if we bundle it as a phone then you can always call it.
  Kristian Wright: True.
  Mable Donnelly: If you're
  Sheri Salazar: True.
  Mable Donnelly: not doing that then we can have something that just kind of rings from either well there used to be those whistling devices but that's a
  Sheri Salazar: Right.
  Mable Donnelly: little bit annoying.
  Corinne Edwards: Cou could we not do something where like just a little lit like literally just a very small kind of thing that comes with the remote that you could place something else that you press and it makes the remote page. Kinda
  Mable Donnelly: Th
  Corinne Edwards: like
  Sheri Salazar: Right.
  Corinne Edwards: how on a lot of um uh cordless regular
  Mable Donnelly: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: phones,
  Kristian Wright: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: you have a page button and it goes,
  Sheri Salazar: Right.
  Corinne Edwards: could we do something like that?
  Mable Donnelly: That's cool.
  Kristian Wright: I think
  Sheri Salazar: Probably.
  Kristian Wright: so.
  Mable Donnelly: I think we could design into
  Kristian Wright: Yeah.
  Mable Donnelly: that.
  Sheri Salazar: Good.
  Corinne Edwards: Um yeah I think this material quality as well like I guess what we can think about what kind of um uh you know Apple 's been really successful with
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: this surgical white kind of business or this
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: sleek kind of
  Sheri Salazar: And
  Kristian Wright: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: you
  Sheri Salazar: that
  Corinne Edwards: know
  Sheri Salazar: titanium the new silver sleek ones that's last couple of years,
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: very much so.
  Mable Donnelly: Curves.
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah. We do have the minimum am amount I mean we were talking finances I dunno, selling a a forty Pound remote would h or a forty Dollar remote, twenty five Euro remote would be pretty you know
  Sheri Salazar: Right.
  Corinne Edwards: it's pretty expensive so maybe we might wanna trade off some of the features for a lower price. Without without getting into that whole like you know go down to bargain store remote you know bargain store universal
  Sheri Salazar: Right.
  Corinne Edwards: remote that's black
  Kristian Wright: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: and you know m massive, some kind of
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: I dunno a balance there in somewhere.
  Sheri Salazar: Definitely.
  Corinne Edwards: But um have a think about what we can do, have a think about what we want to do,
  Sheri Salazar: Yeah.
  Corinne Edwards: how we're gonna sell it and
  Sheri Salazar: Or if
  Corinne Edwards: um
  Sheri Salazar: you our users in mind, like these grandmas are not gonna be into this whole new let's design, no it's they're used to the buttons so we'll have to be careful of exactly who we're marketing this to,
  Kristian Wright: Yeah.
  Sheri Salazar: and
  Corinne Edwards: Mm.
  Sheri Salazar: who we're gonna be able to get it out of.
  Kristian Wright: 'S true.
  Sheri Salazar: But
  Mable Donnelly: We're talking twenty five Pounds or twenty five Euros?
  Corinne Edwards: Twenty five
  Sheri Salazar: Euros.
  Corinne Edwards: Euros.
  Mable Donnelly: Slight difference I guess.
  Corinne Edwards: Yeah. They're all weaker than they're all stronger than the Dollar.
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: Although, computer parts, all if you're gonna upgrade your computer, buy it in the States. Like um do you guys know Fry's? Huge
  Mable Donnelly: No.
  Corinne Edwards: computer
  Sheri Salazar: Mm-mm.
  Corinne Edwards: uh electronics store? They serve um right they sa tha s they will sell things overseas so
  Sheri Salazar: Mm.
  Corinne Edwards: you can buy stuff in America and have it shipped over for like twenty thirty Pounds about. Right so um let's go ahead and wrap that up here for now, I'm gonna put these initial ideas that we've got in the um project documents, so if you guys wa need a reminder about what we've talked about
  Sheri Salazar: Okay.
  Corinne Edwards: um the
  Kristian Wright: Okay.
  Corinne Edwards: different you know kind of trade-offs that we've got and the other ideas, you can consult them at your leisure. And uh right so thanks for that. Let's just uh head back to work on what we were talking about bef uh goi h h getting into.
  Sheri Salazar: half an hour?
  Corinne Edwards: Um. Yes.

  Corinne Edwards: Thanks guys.
  Sheri Salazar: Cool.
  Mable Donnelly: Thank you.
  Kristian Wright: Alright.
