- A Close to the NightNovember 4 2007
-
The champagne has popped, the cards have been swapped, the final handshakes have been made.
But no public launch of the site. It will remain in private beta, until the core team polishes up the site to a launch. Tomorrow night, a launch site will be at WorkPerch.com.
I am sure a flurry of posts will be up tomorrow, addressing all the happenings of the weekend.
My final thoughts of Chapel Hill are as follows:
- Great Dev Talent. Even with a Rails Conference in Charlotte this weekend, there was still plenty of Rails talent to spare.
- Solid Usability core team, comprised of several individuals stepping out of their comfort zone
- Smart people (stepping out of their comfort zone) Several creatives did design that was out of their comfort zone
- Brilliant startup scene (I expect great things)
Goodnight all, we have a bottle of Champers to finish.
- A Beautiful Team!November 4 2007

The 25 people pictured in this photo (if you’re hidden, don’t worry…we have headshots coming soon!) have been an integral part of making this weekend wildly successful. Whether or not we launch, get to market or sell for a few million, the picture captures the spirit of the energy here this weekend. I’m so proud of the energy, passion and focus every person has brought to this project. It’s been an honor. And it’s only just beginning!

- The Importance of Goals During the WeekendNovember 3 2007
-
In addition to group goals, it’s vital that we set personal goals periodically throughout the weekend. My personal goals for today have included:
1) Facilitate wellness of participants (by bringing in healthy food, leading yoga, checking in with folks)
2) Help out with design (by listening in and offering feedback when asked)
3) Help make sure the 5,000 feet level of coordination runs smoothly (everything from being present for people to staying healthy myself!)–
Those are just a few personal goals (of many) and I am sure that many other people had some personal goals coming in to the weekend. Before you go to a weekend and throughout it, it’s great to check in with yourself and your goals. What were your goals for your weekend? What are your goals for future weekends? Did you find those goals changed a lot mid-way through?
Seems like tonight we are going to need to dig deep and discover what it is we think we’re going to be able to do this weekend, realistically and in best case scenario. Knowing that will help us figure out what the rest of the weekend will look like. At 10pm we hit the real half-way point, and it really does feel as though we’re in the middle of it! Yay goals! Go team!
