@Ryan Scomazzon Lead’s vote: https://strawpoll.com/jVyG20vb8Z7
least unanimous leads vote btw
@Daniel Puratich Subteam specific socials
not a lot of interest in doing this
maybe worth trying
doing stuff informal after work sessions is chill
AEAC Thoughts
full CONOPs released (see link in discord)
Alberta is three days drive or flight
few people regardless
driving requires hotels and gas
flying we need to rent the cars as well and transporting the stuff
challenge this year is very different
we did well last year
SUAS Thoughts
full conops not until October
this is really late, all of mech will be off-stream next term which will make things tough with a late conops
this is a massive roadblock
preview was suppost to come out yesterday, i guess it could be anytime this week …
in maryland so closer
more teams, international, US licensing, likely more challenging
Other comps we can’t do
IARC (AUVSI)
CONOPS: http://www.aerialroboticscompetition.org/assets/downloads/mission10rules_1.05.pdf
Likely far away in the US, location unannounced
SAE AERO
don’t want to compete with watarrow
CONOPs: https://www.saeaerodesign.com/cdsweb/gen/DocumentResources.aspx
Cost Breakdown between the two?
not really needed
POR
We are doing AEAC 2025.
Next comp cycle
fixing everyone being on one stream
lot of friends
hard to recruit on other stream
lack of pilots off-stream is a huge challenge
Bootcamps & people with macs - @Daniel Puratich
We should have a formal recommendation
Some people have figured it out quite well
Parallels
we looked into sponsorship for this but didn't work out
bay computer will work eventually
can dual boot windows on macbook but its slow - parallels works better
can remote into a windows computer somewhere else
Advisor Role
Should we consider bringing back the “Senior Member” role
want to make the distinction between graduates/ex-WARG members and ex-leads that are still involved in the team
was discontinued because nobody was really using it
people that are graduated should be treated differently
permissions for #logins channel
advisor suggests that you loose authority
“retired lead”
not everyone wants to PM or become deep in management but we still want a promotion
senior member is a good way to encourage people to popoff and take responsibility but it’s hard to quantify and useless besides for show so for little incentive for it
letting ex-leads keep their channels with the advisor role is kind of a way to keep them interested and dont want them to feel like theyre missing all the new stuff
changes
“leads-logins” has the bitwarden
this is one we really need to control
senior member doesn't give this ← wont implement this yet
“room-codes” has the room codes
senior member gets this
“director-private” channel that excludes all advisors
discuss this in discord later, next leads meeting
