[18:23] Jedi8798: While I have enough time to fulfill and expand the duties of chair, I'm finding the Rockoon project continuing to slip on my priority lists. [18:23] joc 75: problem from my viewpoint is that all the chapter reps interested in the rockoon project [18:23] joc 75: have their own teams [18:23] Jedi8798: *nods* [18:24] joc 75: the only place I can think of that's rocket intensive [18:24] joc 75: that does have teams [18:24] joc 75: is ERFSEDS and UCF SEDS [18:24] joc 75: sorry [18:24] joc 75: does not have teams [18:24] Jedi8798: Agreed, finding one without a conflict of interest would be a problem [18:25] Jedi8798: Well keep your eyes out and if you have any suggestions please message me [18:25] joc 75: ERFSEDS and UCF SEDS [18:25] joc 75: are probably our best bet [18:25] Jedi8798: I have no further items for this meeting. Does anyone have any other items? [18:25] LittleC3788: has left the chat [18:26] Jedi8798: In that case, meeting adjourned.
