III. Engin 100 Team
IV. Business Team
V. M-HEAL Dev Day - 10/30

-----------------------------------------------

I. Tonight's Meeting:
Tonight we had a very productive meeting. We started off discussing requirements for generator the Engin 100 team is designing/building for us. Then we moved the prototype from the LBME storage area to the Wilson Center. Jack finished up the base and put some adjustable feet on it. Mike worked on the vertical to horizontal joint. Elliot made a stopper that prevents the wheel from turning and I attached a new counterweight bar (the old one was pretty wobbly). The lamp is looking great and is much sturdier than it was last meeting.

II. Next Week's Meeting:
Next week we'll be meeting on Thursday at 8 at the Wilson Center. The primary focus will be on fixing the locking mechanism. Depending on when the lighting parts come in, we may begin working on the electrical system. Otherwise we'll just be generally diagnosing and fixing problems with the current prototype (primarily looking for stability issues).

III. Engin 100 Team:
Patrick and Ram (the M-HEAL VP) will be meeting with the Engin 100 team tomorrow afternoon to discuss the basics of the project with them. Patrick, please send an email to the list to tell us how it goes.

IV. Business Team:
M-HEAL is partnering with the B-school's Emerging Markets Club (EMC) and two MBA students will be joining our team. Hopefully I'll be meeting with them next Wednesday to get an idea of how this will work. I'll keep you posted.

V. M-HEAL Dev Day:
M-HEAL Development Day has been moved to October 30th due to a Solid Works workshop on the 23rd. We'll be starting around 10am with a pancake breakfast and finishing with dinner around 7 (so you have plenty of time to get home/to the bar for the 8pm game).

As always let me know if you have any questions, comments, or ideas. Also, if you come across anything interesting please post it on the blog.
