EE Work session
AEAC Town Hall #1 happened
This is where they answer questions everyone had about competition
PCBX Sponsorship Ryan Scomazzon
Good news and bad news
Good news: Turns out they didn't ghost us, it just got sent to junk
Bad news: They are ops of deception and basically used this as a marketing campaign. Their offer for free services was only for the first order and everyone gets this as a new account promotion. They conveniently didn't mention this in their first email.
They mentioned something about offering a discount to us for long term cooperation? I sent an email to push for what we can get out of them but I think this is probably a dud
Back to looking for a JLC sponsorship, I can use some help with that.
Comp/Eclipse sync
No eclipse sync
Comp sync tmrw night (Thursday) @ 8pm in E5-2103
LAST COMP SYNC OF THE TERM
