Discussion

General discussion of Jim D.'s mockup and display of using anchors in Confluence.
  Show icon/text(learn more...) sections just under the general meeting section.
  Have to consider reducing the size of the icons.
  Both icon and 'learn more...' are mouse-sensitive to get you to the main page.
Holding off on including Devops as a group to display in the web site.

Lora's design opinions:
  Keep schedule at the top (Jim T. agrees)
  Use same artist for each graphic if possible; consistency of style is important.
  Use images to represent the technologies.

Lots of discussion of how to handle the 'Learn more...' text. 
Possibly use hovertext/mouseover that displays the 'learn more...'
  Will this display well enough on a phone? Will it be legible?
  Concerns: How will this work on a phone? hover, hold, touch, … 
  hover doesn't work with mobile/touch screen.
Jim T. advises: The hover/lead-in text should be more teasing than it is... Improve the wording so that it isn't so generic per technology.

Ken - After hovering on mobile - the hover text is displayed at the top of the screen.

Lora - Consistently display tech icon within each main display section. Web icon is for navigation as well as identifying where you are.

Lora - starts discussion of 4 steps of design
sketch - freehand drawing on a napkin
wireframe - paint/visio basic display of functionality and navigation; no design specifics yet
mockup - scale demo with content of logos, images, font choices, color choices...
prototype - working demo without 'real/final' functionality (html and or css or others)

mobile, tablet, desktop
want a picture for each; and navigation

Lora reminds us that 40 minutes are free on zoom per meeting. Hold multiple meetings to create a longer meeting.

Next Steps:

Lora will set up a meeting for Thursday at 9am for a web review. She'll send out an invitation and include Jim D.
