Define which lead owns which projects clearly, during this session.
Do we wanna do this?
Is the current system very broken?
Are members getting enough mentorship to keep going?
Want to split projects more evenly?

Do more non-pcb projects?
More harness and validation
@Jerry Tian to scope harness and validation goals on a confluence page before F24
pcb stuff is very time consuming
better for newer members to come to sessions
Improvements to EE Meeting
Good Attendance! Up to ten people usually
Rescheduling EE meeting for lead availability
don’t wanna do this bc time works well for Nolan
Organize confluence projects however u guys want!
Delegating Tasks to PMs to relieve load on leads?
One PM for validation, one PM for harness?
no changes this term
