Ordinary Meeting

Family Day (2019-03-16)

Not enough floorspace in the room that we were provided. Ask for more floorspace for next year instead

Quick retrospective on the Saturday night.

Possible Sessions

Home teaching group asked if we can organise a 'small' Smallpeice over the course of a few weekends.

Guide Session

Happening 2019-03-19. Jenny, Kajetan and Dan T. confirmed, Anton tentatively signed up

Minutes and Agendas

Must be better at organising where minutes are stored and the distinction between minutes and agendas. Two GitHub repositories for the minutes for the same organisation.

Inventory

Specification written, volunteers needed to write it up. Anton volunteers to help with this.

SRO Domain

srobot.org seems like the suitable domain to have. Similar to Student Robitics' domain, but that is unused now.
