Yesterday we worked hard (and then we partied hard…but that’s another story ;) ) and we did amazing progress on many of GeoRemindme’s To-Dos:

  • Brainstorming to optimize the smartphone’ s battery use.
  • Defining the protocol to link mobile devices and the server.
  • Analyzing and checking the web structure and how we must adapt it properly to the mobile version.
  • Taking a look to the free software licenses available.
  • Designing the mobile app.
  • Installing and setting up Android SDK.
  • Designing GeoRemindMe business cards and our new web site ( :D coming soon!!).
  • Considering the posibilities (and costs) of making merchandising stuff (like T-Shirts, badges, stickers,…).
  • Taking a look to Android app interface design.
  • Starting with Innovact’s documentations, slides,…
  • And I must be forgeting something…for sure!

Later that evening, we were interviewed by the guys from mundoespejo.es. The podcast (in spanish) will be available  soon (Update: Podcast here).
