@Neel Patel Stepping down effective last Wednesday

@Ryan Scomazzon Lead’s vote: Ryan EE Lead Vote - StrawPoll

• 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

• Altium & Windows

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

• Advisor

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
