Review of Team Meeting 27/9/2011

On our third meeting (which was delayed by 2 hours because of laundry catastrophe on Fyn island), we:

• Discussed our list of ideas, talked deeper about some of them, discussed +/-. 
• Decided to lower amount of ideas to 3:
• discount sharing/tracking system/community
• music app - concert for free 
• (drinking) phone games(s)
• Discussed and agreed on rules for voting 
• everyone should sort ideas by the highest priority
• first idea on list will be awarded 3 points, second 2 points and third 1 point
• vote will be anonymous
• After counting all votes we decided to go for a system for tracking and sharing discounts. 

•  Reviewed all our previous points and basic information about this application, talked more into a deep about:
• "What are our expectations of this app?"
• "What problems we will have to challenge during development of this app?"
• "How should our final product look like?"
• and many more questions
• We started formulating Project Description, Problem Statement and also Project Foundation.
• We decided to wait with dividing team roles since we don't have our Belbin test results yet
• In a shortcut our final product should be able to provide user with system where he can track/share discounts/prices for a specific type of items in close proximity of his current location and thus help other users to find closest/cheapest product.
•  We divided main problem into few largest sub-problems:
• Creating website where you can access this service after entering your current location.
• Creating android app, which will also, as a website, provide access to this service but of course with some (dis)advantages coming from the using cell phone app.
• Create a database accessible either from website or android application.
• Create a system for filling a database with the latest information about prices (either using internet tracking of closest shops and theirs discounts or using tips entered by other users)
• We divided work on this sub-problems between several people and decided that for next meeting sub-teams should research the following:
• usable website templates/frameworks, ideas for our web-design, logo
• research  android development kit and IDE, think about app design, prepare use-case diagram of android app
• research possible database systems, which would best fit our needs, think about database design, prepare ER datagram of a database
