The CALMAT gang gathered at the hideout of starbuck near the mother ship again Oct 11. Two new academic warriors joined us from a Si ship. They are experts in Marketing and hospitality and with strong skills in slaying the Arced dragon that every ship has to deal with once in a while. We viist their homeboat and talked till late night.
CALMAT decided to have a soft start. If we can recruit at least 20 new crew by the end of 2008, we will start to sea. Or we should get everything ready and wait to Feb.
Sunday, deckhand Leaf brough a new blood JaJa from a competing SiShip to Skipper's treasure island.
Many people are having doubts. Can we suvive? Do we have enough amunation to fight with other ship.
The skipper told the CALMAT gang that, the history is written for the braves. "Any of course, they are the first to die." he smirked with an affirmative pounce on the table.

IF come back from Brazil - CAL M&T online
IF believes there is a market for online MBA in Brazil. Several associates over there can help us to spread the word and poster.
In turns of long term growth, it might be best to establish several entities, all subsidiaries of a parent company. E.g
Zeuss Group International is the parent company
CAL M&T Silicon Valley
American Education Consortium (for recruitment - a non profit arm)
CAL M&T Monterey Bay (for online and doctoral)
CAL M&T Foundation (for research - a non profit arm)
The discussion about founder's agreement concerns me. Unless everyone on board support the agreement and mission completely, the venture is doomed to failure. Have to think about other ways.

Plot thickened - where to build the CAL M&T castle
The CALMAT Gang gathered at a building near San Jose airport call Airport II. A nice professional surrounding with numerous nameless business building. It is a Saturday so it is quite.
Pro:
Transportation (5/5) light rail /metro is just across the street so it can not be easier
First floor location adds to presence and ease of access
Rent price is reasonable
We'll have the building to ourselves during weekends
Easy to grow
Good access to companies
Parking is easy
Can:
In an industry area so there is no "campus"
No close-by library or other facilities for learning
Few stores within walking distance
No close-by large campus can leverage resouces
