Leadership Transition

• How is leadership transition going?

• Manasva will have time to come up this term

  • vote passed before

Bottom Heavy

• reference message (in private chats)

• EFS has a lot of new members

• They have a lot of new members

  • a lot of pretty good new members

  • not a lot of second year students

  • uncertainty of impact of work pushes people away from the team

• Very few projects people are allowed to choose their own architecture/implementation

  • success of LED project is due to allowing people to own it and make mistakes and see results

  • people wanna write drivers especially if they’re new

  • being an owner of part of ZP isn’t that much freedom, there’s a lot of other systems

  • more projects like LED board could be nice

    • sensor cluster → harder

    • servo module stuff

    • projects require architecture

    • for ZP → managers have very clear how they should function

  • letting people do arch is messy because implementation details come up

• @Derek Tang handles a lot of ZP stuff

• Reviewing PRs

  • video to prove working method

    • we do it for drivers

  • PRs have a massive knowledge exchange

    • other ppl should be able to review PRs

  • people want to learn good practice

  • need more PMs

• ZP

  • is the coolest thing EFS does

  • it’s cool when people understand it

  • it is a large project and hard to achieve anything

    • Manasva worked on ZP, understands arch,

  • Adding CAN support to ZP

• Tracking Antenna

  • fixing a lot of stuff

• Important to ping in Aidan Bowers, Sahil Kale, & Chris Chung

• have so few PMs so can’t assign them to review bootcamps

  • PMs is seen as a need and not really a privledge

  • lowering the barrier to being a PM

  • getting people invested in the team will cause natural tendency in this direction

• socials

  • making it feel like a team

• bootcamp reviewing

  • is a lot of loading on leadership

  • automated testing?

• experimenting with monday meeting in two halves, telling people not to show up to whole meeting

  • don’t want to waste people’s time with this

  • breaking work sessions up?

  • spend money to save time

• lack of bay door opening holds us back

•  Competition Tuning

  • marketing this is hard

  • following document for tuning isn’t a control system experience

  • we have EFS interested being pilots

    • Yuchen and Manasva running pilot training

    • having pilots in EFS will get people more into tuning

    • we shouldn’t block people on trainings so much as long as they’re not being unsafe

  • need to drop the bureaucracy here. let people do it. Do not arbitrarily limit members.

  • advanced license is for comp

  • anyone present with a TC basic is enough

  • Internal Licensing & WARG's Flightline Progression Program (FPP) | Definition: Ground station Operator

• future concepts

  • How do we keep it interesting for leads and senior members?

  • Advanced R&D projects

  • surveying memebrs about their interests within meetings might be a path forward here

  • hard to come up with tasks, (hard for everyone)

• member influx

  • increasing new members
