Product Specification

I wrote up the Product Specification for the Solar Lamp; this spec has detailed functional description, requirments, and parameters that need to be met during the development and implementation. The spec not only has technical design information but also project management (schedule, budget, resources) and testing requirements. I am having the spec reviewed by some key people before sending to Innogetic so a Statement of Work can be generated.

China trip report

I have just returned from China. The first stop was Zhuhai, Guangdong province where I met with Jun Hua the parent company of Bojay and several other subsidiaries. The majority owner of these companies was very heartfelt in Evergreen’s mission and motivated to participate in the solar lamp project.  He assigned the project to a new subsidiary company, Innogetic Technologies and also assigned a Director and a project manager, whom will lead the team. We are in the process of getting a Non-Disclosure in place; and I am working on an updated development and testing specification. We are in the Conceptual project management phase, which we'll need to have a Statement of Work among other items to do a phase exit and get into the Development phase. I believe Innogetic and Evergreen will make great mutual partners for this project

Next I was in Huaian, Jiangsu province, to make a presentation at the Evergreen Library conference, this was a new experience for me to do a bilingual powerpoint presentation with translation help from Cheng (an engineer who formerly worked for me). With 80 educators from the Evergreen beneficiary schools in attendance, the conference commenced; and I was the first day 11am speaker with Jeffrey translating. I think it turned out well, we received lots of positive comments. Most important is that we were able to meet my objectives in rallying support for the solar lamp project and we have 2-4 schools that will participate in the first run.

In the spirit of my relationship with the Jun Hua companies, I showed the educators their newly developed clean chalk system to replace traditional chalk. The demo was very well received by, and I am connecting the Jun Hua owner with 2 school Principals to try the system.
