Other

- We started our discussions from the last point: what work do we have for the summer students. There are several projects related to the UVA equipment for wire stringing: setting up the position measuring system (camera with computer), help in the development of a system for tension measurements. Not exactly related to that, but very important, Bill, Brian and others started discussion what else is needed to use the UVA equipment. We will have more discussions on the next meeting, but for now we will contact UVA to bring the equipment at JLab and store it at room 117.

- There's a possibility to have techs/engineers matrixed from FEL to work on the FDC project. Roger made the point that whenever FEL finds funding for them, they will abandon our project. We have to make sure that their contracts have the clause that they first have to finish their responsibilities for us.

- everybody is encouraged the look at the FDC Collaboration talks linked above

- because of the Collaboration meeting next week we will have no FDC meeting
