- Bill: probably there will be a delay with the clean room construction, because some of the specifications (like +/-2% humidity control) were not realistic, which delays the bidding process. Eugene: the leading time is about 3 months, so expect it ready by December, although they will try to speed up the construction.  
  
- There will be a meeting, end of next week, including Tim and Tom about the FDC production and the tech labor. Bill prefers to start the production with 5 techs and then based on the performance, to adjust this number to have the chambers produced in time. Eugene suggested 20% contingency. According to the baseline the production should start in November 2010 and finish in October 2012, including the testing. The installation starts in January 2013.

- Casey created a list of equipment and materials needed for the production. Everybody is encouraged to look at the link above. We discussed what type of microscope we need for the wire and flex soldering. Casey who is expected to be the main user wanted to have bigger working distance than the new Fernando's microscope. It will be nice also to have
