Condor: Status

Here's a quick recap of what we've accomplished since my post on Aug. 17th:

Technology
- I did two installations of the same open-source script on my LAMP server at home, calling them site A and site B, respectively.
- DE and I met last night to see how we can forward data from site A to site B; he had a copy of Apache2Triad running, btw
- We soon realized that our attempts to capture transaction data from the session token was not the way to go because it was too cumbersome. Instead, we'll have the data stored on a local database. We can then query for the information when we need it and then repackage it prior to sending it out to a partner site.
- There is still a lot more to figure out, including coming to agreement on the concept of operations.

Business
- I emailed various organizations with whom I have affiliation about their business resources
- my engineering adviser/professor at George Washington University
- the entrepreneurship club at GWU
- the alumni association at University of Maryland University College, for alumni living in Phoenix

Additional Task
- Address investor risk, specifically market risk. To do this, I am going to produce a survey of potential customers. More details on this in a later posting.
