  • Jagruti might have time constraints for next week’s presentation

    • Discussed the matter with Alyssa who can start the meeting earlier
    • Changing time is only last resort
    • Ideally Jagruti should start first, so she could drop early if she wants to
    • Harsh wants to do second, so he can drop early to prepare for a big exam to take place on the next day
    • Vandit would like to go third if it is okay with Ashutosh
    • Ashutosh is okay to go in 4th

  • Alyssa explains what we will do during the actual presentation

    • Next week will start session 30 minutes early to do a quick run like mic check
    • Will test again to make sure audio and visual feeds are good to go
    • Everyone will need to do a test run each to make sure things will work as expected
    • There will be a special link in the minutes specific to the webinar, so it can hold up to 500 people

  • Link to next week’s online meetup for the midterm demos:
