dandersonn43 (7:59:39 PM): That would be not so good.
lizeeb3 (8:00:07 PM): ok
lizeeb3 (8:00:10 PM): Let's begin
Invitation result for buddy BZWingZero : Invite or request timed out
lizeeb3 (8:00:31 PM): No one sent me anything for the agenda so this meeting is probably going to be relatively short
lizeeb3 (8:00:45 PM): Does anyone have any updates or announcements?
Jedi8798 (8:01:05 PM): yuppers
lizeeb3 (8:01:17 PM): awesome
lizeeb3 (8:01:20 PM): go ahead
Jedi8798 (8:01:48 PM): Allright, a) I e-mailed Josh Neubert and he put me in contact with the XPrize guys who I need to talk to
Jedi8798 (8:02:09 PM): Josh recommends we try to add our SEDS Rocket competition to an existing one theyw ill probally be doing this year
lizeeb3 (8:02:31 PM): is it for students only
Jedi8798 (8:02:43 PM): the exact rules of the XCup one I dont know
Jedi8798 (8:02:49 PM): I'm waiting for a reply from Will P
lizeeb3 (8:03:08 PM): Pomerantz?
Jedi8798 (8:03:12 PM): yessum
lizeeb3 (8:03:17 PM): ok
lizeeb3 (8:03:19 PM): cool
lizeeb3 (8:03:29 PM): that is exactly what the chapters requested
Jedi8798 (8:04:12 PM): Damion and I decided the next CoC will revolve primarily around the projects
lizeeb3 (8:04:12 PM): does anyone have any questions on the rocket competition?
dandersonn43 (8:04:22 PM): What is it exactly?
Jedi8798 (8:04:31 PM): Its very vague right now
Jedi8798 (8:04:39 PM): we're trying to find out what hte Xcup will let us do first
Jedi8798 (8:04:56 PM): but in general we would like to have some sort of competition between SEDS chapters building rockets
Jedi8798 (8:05:16 PM): cant be more specific till we find out what the arrangements/liabilities/etc are
dandersonn43 (8:05:20 PM): k
dandersonn43 (8:05:21 PM): Thanks
Jedi8798 (8:05:21 PM): that the XCup has in place already
lizeeb3 (8:05:27 PM): cool
Jedi8798 (8:05:45 PM): I doubt the model rocket racing plane thing will happen, because Brian found out that those would basically count as missiles not rockets

dandersonn43 (8:06:35 PM): Hello. That sounds leagally complicated.
Jedi8798 (8:06:39 PM): Probally in the next week/two weeks I'll know what the XCup will definetly let us do

lizeeb3 (8:07:23 PM): that is really good news
Jedi8798 (8:07:40 PM): As for the Art Contest/ZeroG/NASA Means B competitions, Liz and I have decided it would probally be best to use the newly formed Advisors board for advise on how to improve my fundraising for SEDS
rmmlg08 (8:08:15 PM): check with the alumni board as well
Jedi8798 (8:08:19 PM): so over this weekend I will finalize a letter to them asking for advice, etc, Liz will peruse it, then distribute it

rmmlg08 (8:08:27 PM): some may even have direct contacts
Jedi8798 (8:09:14 PM): Oh, and btw, on the business card side of things, I have bought the paper, just need to find a few hours in the next week to print em off
dandersonn43 (8:09:23 PM): good
Jedi8798 (8:09:31 PM): Jake has already told me one correction he wants to his card, does anyone else have changes?
Jedi8798 (8:09:40 PM): new positions they want added on, etc
