• Virtual Workshop Planning: Ashutosh proposed hosting a virtual workshop using a YouTube stream, noting that they need to determine specific logistics for registration and device access, which would be limited to 30 to 50 participants. Ashutosh and Erika agreed to target early Q3 for this event, as a June timeline is not feasible.

• Meeting Recap: Erika provided a recap of several administrative and project-related items to ensure all stakeholders were aligned. This included checking the status of a purchase order invoice and the potential for expedited payment, as well as providing briefings on the defense working group, the Washington DC event scheduled for September, and participation in the San Francisco Tech Week in October. The recap also confirmed Ashutosh’s placement on the program committee for the upcoming Taipei or Singapore event and established the need for follow-up on the Generative AI working group (00:01:10).
• Solution Portal and Partnerships: Erika noted that the solution portal is currently being led by AppNet and discussed the goal of fostering cross-industry collaboration (00:02:29). They plan to connect with Intel’s preferred solution providers to gauge interest in partnerships, which could include having providers lead online talks similar to existing live streams (00:03:44). Erika confirmed that the portal contains both integrated and software solutions, and Ashutosh offered names of potential partners such as Melax and Click for outreach consideration. Erika agreed to check internally for existing contacts to ensure there is no overlap in outreach efforts (00:05:06).
• Certification Program: Ashutosh proposed a plan to integrate partner-specific certification by allowing partners to log into the Intel Partner University directly through the AJI foundation to access training and receive certification. Erika requested that Ashutosh schedule a meeting with Casey, who manages the partner training programs, to discuss how to deploy these seeds and integrate them into existing programs (00:06:47). Ashutosh committed to reaching out to Casey to arrange this discussion (00:09:15).
• Developer and Ecosystem Surveys: Ashutosh suggested that the foundation implement developer and attendee surveys, independent of event feedback, to gain insight into ecosystem perception and general awareness of various solution providers. Ashutosh argued that this data would be beneficial for the community to identify potential gaps in awareness (00:10:32). Erika expressed support for this idea and committed to bringing it to the staff meeting the following day to gather team feedback for incorporation into the foundation’s annual strategic planning (00:13:44).
• Closing Logistics: Erika confirmed that they would send information regarding the upcoming London event to Ashutosh, with the goal of encouraging the Intel UK office to utilize available tickets and participate in the event (00:13:44).
