Good morning and a very happy Sunday. It’s encouraging to see a lot of like minded professionals ask very involved questions to provide the much needed infrastructure for the teen center operations. Here are a few clarifications: 1. Saturday 2/17 is for you all to experience the location, understand the real world problems you could solve with your tech expertise, and pitch your ideas. We will provide the infrastructure. ** You have an option to join remote, if you indicate in the rsvp form 2. I will be sharing a product requirements document where we all code as 1 team on the final design for a period of 1 week or more based on our collective decision on the 2/17 3. Those who want to see the high level requirements document before RSVP, please message me 1:1 and I am happy to share detailed blueprint of the location and operational needs for you to chime in and help you make the decision to RSVP *** if you can get your companies sponsor either iPads, Laptops, terminals, cloud infrastructure on GCP or AWS or Azure or digital cameras like NEST, Ring Central, we appreciate it. Together, let us build a stronger tomorrow for our youth. This initiative can go beyond Ventura county
