Report late by 2 days this week due to sales team meetings

On hold again until mid July. Need to discuss Workspaces future first.

Dave said this task was basically to get marketing to improve the PowerPoint for sales calls but is not not sure that's the right approach any more. Closing this one.

Done. Exported all projects and tasks before deleting and uploaded the csv file to a board only Google Drive miscellaneous folder [here](https://drive.google.com/a/codeproject.com/#folders/0B24mm7p_89KxOGFwdkVZLW5SZkk).

They have acknowledged and want to do this, but are busy with launch activities right now. This includes adding the tracking tags and using new creatives.

There are still around 60K subscribers to move. These will wait until Yuriy is back from vacation.

Cancelled task as per discussion with Dave

Addenda from Chris:

- The purchaser survey went out last week and we got a grand total of 17 responses: http://www.codeproject.com/Surveys/1605/What-Do-You-Think-of-Workspaces.aspx
- No dedicated email went out for workspaces this week, contrary to a specific request
- Homepage copy: there are actually 3 homepages: the workspaces.codeproject.com page, the user’s homepage and the workspaces homepage. The user’s homepage (dashboard) has been completely revamped today; the workspace homepage has had updated copy to explain auto-forking. No update yet on the site’s homepage. Need to follow up.
- **Kamil is hiring a new developer for about 4K**. He’s a “one man army” and a good catch according to Kamil.
- Marketing activity for workspaces is at the “present the most compelling system we can to as many people as we can” point, so all dev work is now focussed on the overall experience. Kamil’s new hire is thus being treated as a marketing resource.
- **Jeff is going to run point on DevExpress**. There are questions around whether DevExpress’s zero perf is due to broken tags being supplied to us.

Did we figure out what the block is?

Nothing new from Brett. Going ahead with dividing wall for boardroom so that we can all move over to this side. Plan is to hand back unit 500 sub to Dundas on June 1st.

Kevin Klein from Winnipeg sent me an email this week saying he's still interested

Brett and Troy are meeting this week with the realtor to discuss options and will get back to me.

We will revisit this task and related expenses once there is enough Workspaces revenue to cause us worry about tax issues.

This project is on hold, but there are some tasks related to things like tax filing for the Irish corporation, etc, that still need to be taken care of.

Some of you have outrageous cell phone & device expenses that could be addressed with some better travel planning options and possible consolidation and plan changes. Hmmm....

Eric working with Cornerstone. Interested in our NA list.

Agreed that we no longer needs full yearend audits done for a savings of about $15000/year

Transferred most company related reoccurring charges to Eric's credit cards and cancelled services no longer in use in the process.

Cancelled 7 unused RingCentral extensions for a saving of around $250/month.

Stopped most CP Europe work and using less expensive lawyer when it makes sense

Consolidated everything into 1 rack

Effective April 1st

Having discussions with Brett at Dundas about another option. They are also looking at shrinking their total space and are working on a plan to negotiate something with the landlord. They are suggesting we move into the NE corner of the 5th floor and vacate all of our existing space. Part of this deal would include covering all our buildout costs and no new lease terms for us.

Received 3 quotes to separate the current boardroom into a private office and an open gathering space. Prices from $6K to $22K.

Testing the new activity log

Meeting with Buy Sell Ads on Monday April 7th at 1pm

Revenue and eCPM by type so we can see what AdX effort can do

Asked Yuriy to research

Forms signed. Effective April 1st.

Focusing on testing and tuning AdX before doing this.

Focusing on testing and tuning AdX before doing this.

- Audit field work completed.
- Some IO testing and final tax provision still needs to be completed.
- Final year end statements (Sept 30/13) for CPSI may be impacted by timing / decision on CP/DM split.

test for chris

from Yuri: Yep, I send them to Carrie and myself once a week.The report is also available on apps.DM that lets you see this data. The report allows you to enter the minimum number of impressions and the minimum impression increase thresholds.

On hold for a few months. Extra expenses, extra space, and disruption not justified right now.

On hold until further notice. Eric takes over as acting DM CTO from Chris.

On hold until further notice

A few interviews so far with senior people, but nobody knocked our socks off. Flying Kevin Klein in from Winnipeg Jan 22.
