WatArrow

Waterloo SAE Aero team - definitive plan of action?

new UW team with goal to design an airframe (planes). Different classes in the SAE Aero competition. 70 teams, ‘international' - mostly US/CAN?
- different goals to warg
- however, competes with mechanical team - composites and aero specialization
  - convo with them about merging to combine strengths? - emailed a few days ago
- also competes with funding - work towards sharing knowledge/resources with them
Directors/SDC (teertstra) have EOT syncs- will mention this at sync
even going international on WARG would go towards AUVSI SUAS (https://suas-competition.org/ ) need to get cracked first
- not SAE aero like watarrow is going towards

Operations status update

passwords will be scrambled, including all main ones (all emails, etc)
- rollover from last term, none of the passwords in lastpass were changed before getting ported to bitwarden- they all still match
- also to simulate an expiry date on access (old leads, people who used to have access but don’t need to anymore)
No ~~actual contact~~ WARG discord communication from hamza for approx 2 months, just gonna remove his lead perms at this point

Ops leadership heading forward

Reviewing Purchase Protocol - 5 minutes speed run 🫵 💀
