– This is a weekend gathering (TBA)
– The group suggested to give each restaurants a CBS Group card. It’s like a “calling” card that contains members’ site. This is one way of introducing the group. With this, a motion to change the CBS logo (c/o Wilhelmina) was made. Here’s the link of the logo. The logo is still for the approval of the original logo creator of CBS, Mark.
– Printing of the cards (c/o Aileen)
– Budget: Php100 (still looking for sponsors) **hehehehehe**

6. Other matters:

– CBS members will soon tackle on Blog monetization
– SEO issues
– Recommended aggregator sites to increase traffic
– Sharing Blogging experiences
– The next meet up will be posted (thru CBS yahoogroups and Visayas bloggers). Probable next venue will be in the WALK, IT PARK.
