[18:09] Jedi8798: *sighs* has taken me the last hour to go through all the ISDC emails
[18:09] Jedi8798: or at least emails I have gotten during ISDC that I have not been able to attend to
[18:10] KellyMann10: yeah, i had quite a few, but most were just junk mail
[18:10] nyeerrmm: i took care of most of mine, although did someone grab my list of contacts... somehow i lost it
[18:10] nyeerrmm: it was on the back of a schedule
[18:10] Jedi8798: On the plus side we've already gotten one school emailing us to join, Rutgers University
[18:11] nyeerrmm: good, that was one that was on there
[18:11] Jedi8798: Brian- I dunno, I havent unpacked anything besides my laptop.
[18:11] Jedi8798: Just came through the ticket system a few hours ago
[18:11] Jedi8798: ok
[18:11] Jedi8798: looks like this is all we are getting tonight
[18:11] AeroAggie84: [System Message] User is not available.
[18:12] Jedi8798: Given the small number who have shown, I'd like to informally start with an ISDC wrap up
[18:12] AeroAggie84: [System Message] User is not available.
[18:12] Jedi8798: what did you guys think of it?
[18:12] AeroAggie84: [System Message] User is not available.
[18:13] KellyMann10: I liked it
[18:13] KellyMann10: it was more of a "informing you about whats goin on" thing than space vision
[18:13] nyeerrmm: i thought it went well except for the one issue, lots of good contacts
[18:13] nyeerrmm: i was especially happy with CoC
[18:13] Jedi8798: agreed
[18:13] Jedi8798: Now, perhaps more importantly, suggestions for the future?
[18:14] Jedi8798: things you would like to see SEDS do better next time
[18:14] Jedi8798: or better at NewSpace
[18:14] nyeerrmm: have someone at the table at all times
[18:14] nyeerrmm: and make sure we keep it clean
[18:14] Jedi8798: Yup
[18:15] Jedi8798: Actually that brings up a good point I wanted to ask Ryan about...
[18:15] Jedi8798: If Will is leaving us 1-2 volunteers at any given time to man the table
[18:16] Jedi8798: Ok
[18:16] Jedi8798: if you have any further feedback on what we need to do better next time, let me know
[18:16] Jedi8798: as well as any suggestions for improving/expanding the student activities
[18:16] Jedi8798: NSS is very interested in continuing / expanding those
[18:17] Jedi8798: We'll skip the next item, Listservs, since Darrell really wanted to be involved with that one
[18:17] Jedi8798: Next then is the Education Position
[18:17] Jedi8798: Nastia, a student we all met at ISDC and a friend of HaoQi, is very interested in helping out with Educational Outreach
[18:18] Jedi8798: I wanted to get your opinions on how we can get her involved with the exec board and excited about SEDS
[18:18] AeroAggie84: [System Message] User is not available.
[18:19] KellyMann10: thinking
[18:20] nyeerrmm: i think the concept of bringing her on to fulfill my roles while i stay on as voting member and work on the conference is a good way to go
[18:20] AeroAggie84: [System Message] User is not available.
[18:20] nyeerrmm: the issue comes because she doesnt have a chapter
[18:20] AeroAggie84: [System Message] User is not available.
[18:21] KellyMann10: we could have her show up to a meeting or two and talk with specifically about what she could do
[18:21] KellyMann10: or that too
[18:21] KellyMann10: if she is up for it
[18:22] nyeerrmm: apparently ryan has a fried router and cant keep connected
[18:22] Jedi8798: So all in favor of having Nastia come aboard in the role of Educational Outreach, while Brian stays a voting member working on the conference?
[18:22] AeroAggie84: [System Message] User is not available.
[18:22] nyeerrmm: aye
[18:22] AeroAggie84: [System Message] User is not available.
