Next meeting

[Uma Mahadevan]

Since I'm travelling this Wed to Fri,

let's meet on Sat, Sep 8, 8pm, at my place again: 20663 Cheryl dr, Cupertino, CA; phone: 408-340-3826
For those who can't attend and who live far away, I'll start a Google Hangout from gmail and send out information, around 8pm.  Please join the hangout and I think this will work better than the phone.

For those attending, please bring your laptops and let's see if we can connect to the hangout also.

Hemakka, please set up a weekly meeting with me to update you in person on these team meetings.
 

Agenda:
Go around the room and discuss status on current action items and what to take on next week, and some time on the big picture/mega planning, since the previous one is very focused.

Before the next meeting, please try to wrap up at least one thing at your list and tell us the status.

Team 1 (Act):
------------------
Ravi, Rama: please send an update on some prop and costume that you have in place or have a good plan for.
Srinivas: please send the contact of the non-Sangithalaya parent who is an excellent person to get the skit direction started.

Team 2 (Sing):
--------------------
Hemakka, please finalize at least one song for some scene and record it for us, to get us started

Team 3 (Practice):
----------------------------
Vishali, please tell us your plan for conducting practices and rehearsals

Team 4 (Sell):
--------------------
Anitha, Gayatri, please tell us what has happened on the ads, brochure and tickets front.

Team 5 (Money):
-----------------------
Vatsala: please give us an update on the budget

Team 6 (Misc):
----------------------
Uma: send finalized list of singers, actors, and other things related to event_day that I put in the Misc sheet of the spreadsheet.

thanks
Uma

Ravi, if you have some parents outside of this list who can help you
- create the props
- get them stored somewhere
- transport to the theater and back
- get them onto the stage and out
- and finally return them

please let us know.  If not, I'll ask Hemakka.

Rama, same with you:  please tell us if you know of someone who can help you with tasks similar to the above list, and if not, we'll ask Hemakka.

Team 2 (Sing):
--------------------
Hemakka, please finalize at least one song for some scene and record it for us, to get us started

Team 3 (Practice):
----------------------------
Vishali, please tell us your plan for conducting practices and rehearsals

Vishali: do you have any parents in mind to help you out, outside of this list?  Everyone in this list seems to be booked with a lead role.  Someone from East Bay would be a good choice.  I can help you also, but don't want to commit to too much, yet.

 

Team 4 (Sell):
--------------------
Anitha, Gayatri, please tell us what has happened on the ads, brochure and tickets front.

Forgot to include Bama.

Hi all,
 Can we all meet at my house (20663 Cheryl Dr, Cupertino, 95014) this Thu, Sep 13 at 8.30pm?  I will start a hangout and send out the link for those who can't make it.

Agenda is to go over what we did in this past week and what we're planning to do for the coming week.

Hemakka, please feel free to skip the meetings and I'll send out notes.  I'll talk to you briefly after Santosh's Mon class to sync up.

thanks
Uma

Hi Uma,

 

Don’t know if I’ll be able to make it.  I had a comment at today’s class:

 

Satish offered (and Ravi offered to work with him) to set up a Webex conf. call for all to call in to the meeting.  I suggested that each person prepare a status update that we can all see on on our screens (Word file or Power Point) and comment upon.  Then you can compile and distribute?  Will make it easier on all.

 

I’m afraid it’s not a good idea to talk to me after classes; I am usually exhausted by then and can’t deal with a major project.  I can call in using Webex and get an idea of what’s happening whenever I’m available.

 

Thank you all for the great work!

Hema

Hemakka,
 It makes sense for you to attend only if it is in your place.   Please let us know when you can make it, later this month and in Oct.

About Webex, let's try Google Hangout this time because it is lightweight and it works right off of gmail.  If it doesn't, we can try Webex.

thanks
Uma

[Hema Sista]

Uma, Ravi,

 

Srikanth has enthusiastically offered to help out with the production.  Please add him to the group,

Hi team,

Reminder to meet meet at my house (20663 Cheryl Dr, Cupertino, 95014) today, Sep 13 at 8.30pm?  I will start a hangout and send out the link for those who can't make it.

Agenda:
Each team go over pending items and take at least one of them and get them done before the next meeting.  For instance

Team Act:
Ravi, please get at least one prop in place
Meera, our newly appointed skit director:  work with Hemakka to finalize actor list and some scenes

Team Sell:
Bama, please work with Hemakka on finalizing the name, getting the ticket count and print them.

Team Money:
Satish, please give us a ballpark on what we can spend for props and costumes.  This will open doors

Team Event Day: (myself and Latha, who is backstage coord).
Need to do something here before 8.30 today :)

and so on.

thanks
Uma

Mail from Hemakka about meeting this week (Sep 17  -- 21)

Dear All,



I am not available on Thursday, so would like to have the meeting on
Wednesday evening at 8 pm.



I'd like to make it a little more time-efficient than the previous meeting,
so we can finish in a timely fashion.



Thanks to all of you for your time and effort,

Hema

[Hema Sista]

Satish, I presume we can all call in?  How do we get the conference call audio?  Will you provide us with a number??

*******************************************************

Dear Team,

I need to give you a good picture of my vision as well as hear from each of you on the status of the work you’ve done.  I want to use tonight’s meeting to do this.

I would like to have this meeting over Webex; I’m more comfortable with this format.  Satish, would you please set up the meeting and provide us all with access?

If you can make a short bullet point document of the status (your research, what you’ve done, what you need), Satish will take control of your computer at that point and display it for all of us.

Thank you!

Hema
