### Moving to Action

## Communications Strategy
- We will no longer tease minor releases. We will just ship them. This creates excitement.
- Bigger releases - like KoM, we will tease and announce when timing is right. **ALL major announcments should be tied to twitter and other marketing**
---
## The Advisory Group
The key to our success is for advisory group members to:
- Commit to an amount of time (no min) to work on a task.The only thing we ask is that you are 100% laser focused on the task.
- DO something that you love - this only works if the work you are doing is meaninful to you.
- Dream about how sweet it will be when we succeed.

## Next Steps
- Queen to finalize Working backlog project list (By Wednesday)
- Members start gathering requirements (By end of week)
- Start work (Next week)

## If you are asking yourself why do we do it?
