- Week Zero -

First virtual meeting of the group. We were able to introduce our selves and finally set faces to names. During this time we discussed three primary topics:
  • Team Charter 
  • Project Ideas 
  • Plan for the Week 
Team Charter-
We discussed all five of the necessary talking points (team roles, communication plan, meeting schedule, norms, and document coordination), and we are all in agreement on what we've come up with. 

-Team-Lead will alternate, Blogger will be rotated weekly, Scribe (meeting recorder) will alternate, and Quality Assurance will be fulfilled by all members. The role of Submitter has been designated to a specific member. Drafter and Programmer roles have yet to be determined, but those with prior experience have volunteered to contribute when the need arises.
-Our primary method of communication has already be established as Microsoft Teams. This will provide a means of group-chat, individual messaging, video-chat, screen-sharing, and document collaboration. We have also set up alternate methods of communication through text and Zoom.
-Thursday "Lab" time will be our primary meeting time, followed by a significant amount of time set aside on Fridays, and check-in meeting (that can be extended if necessary) on Tuesdays.
-Document coordination will be primarily through Teams, using Office programs. We are looking into what is necessary for a team member or two to have direct access to a drafting program (without using the Virtual Desktop). Project phases will be submitted by the assigned team member.

It should be noted that the Team Charter is still a work in progress, and will be modified throughout the coming week. Additionally, we did not establish a set of procedural norms beyond those listed above.

Project Ideas-
At present, we have two proposed ideas: A UV light box that sanitizes N95 respirator masks, and a ventilator expansion mechanism.

-UV light box that is capable of sanitizing multiple N95 respirator masks at a time so that they may be reused safely multiple times. This may also be used to sanitize other equipment.
-Ventilator Expansion will modify a ventilator so that it is capable of safely and effectively servicing multiple patients at a time.

Plan for the Week-
-Each member will brainstorm over the weekend and propose a new project idea by Tuesday. 
-The Team Charter will be completed for Quality Assurance by Wednesday night, and submitted on Thursday. 
-A team member will look into getting drafting software through the university.
-A final vote on the Project Idea will happen on Thursday.
