For those of you who couldnt read your attachment, here are the minutes from Fridays meeting again.

1:15 Meeting 5/26

PDR - Wed. 5/24

Fred:  Material presented well.  Everyone pleased.  Specific questions came from PDR: Concerned over CAD team.  Who will write the flight software?  Having JPL use UCSD to write software.  Discuss concerns re: type of flight software that will be used.  JPL has not talked to any students at CAL Tech. re: this matter.  Using high school students is a huge challenge!  Share responsibilities.  Need to have working meetings.  Lack of communication.

Mike: Treat project as two competitive contractors.  Need to worry about the interfaces.  Not a partnership.  JPL needs to get to the point that they realize that they need us.  Emphasize the interface.  Table until Monday morning.

ACTION ITEM: Write a formal response to JPL re: SMOC hardware. What do we provide and win.  What configurations are out there?  PC386 on up to LC II on up are the current standards.  JPL insists that high-end Mac is the minimum configuration.  Designate architecture and process for supplying computers and the research that it is based upon.  Need to determine for scaleable purposes.  Only supply equipment for pilot program if they can not meet the minimum requirements.  Internet access is a concern, too.  Stay away from Boubons!!! (ask Dr. Wiskerchen)
