Background:

TSSG Purpose: We Help You Answer The Question - What have you been doing since your last job?

TSSG Mission: Technical Skills Share Group (TSSG) is a volunteer organization created for technical professionals in-transition or enthusiasts seeking peer-based active learning. We develop mobile, web and data analytics applications with the purpose of keeping members current in the latest software technologies.

TSSG Website Purpose: Enable fast access to information about TSSG to those who may want to join.

TSSG Website Development Mission: Create a site that has a responsive design, is graphically appealing and is concise in content.  It must communicate only enough information to reach the right audience on the right devices.  It must be low-maintenance for TSSG. 

TSSG Website Development Goal: Enable TSSG to almost effortlessly advertise within known channels of interest - Meetup, Acton Networkers Group (ANG) and Hopkinton Networkers Group (HNG). 

note: We know Acton Networkers Group is willing to put up an easel weekly with our website address.

--- can cut here — take care of at another meeting ----  leaving here for team to view thoughts ---

While we have you here - and if we have time...

Question A: What statements have you heard from TSSG alumni about how TSSG helped them? 

examples: 

"It was a variable in my interview. I was able to talk with high energy about the project I'm ACTIVELY working - more current than a project I closed six months ago"

"I researched and put together a comprehensive presentation on a technology I needed to know more about - then I presented it at the General Meeting and it was critiqued by all the teams. Great!"

"The work of looking for a new position is exhausting. TSSG helped me break-up the week and relieve stress by getting my hands on my keyboard and coding with others."

Question B: What new features do YOU enjoy and consider "Tech- Savvy"?
