+# Team Sync
+
+_In attendance: Daisy, Kevin, Maggie, John, Max_

+	- Reached out to Dean
+	- Needs an android phone
+- Zach

+		- JC talked about making a board
+		- Mason is leading a smartwatch project
+	- Talk through some structured planning (notes below)
+- Max
+	- Poster design aiming for print review by EOD
+	- Video tutorial working with
+
+### Discussion topics
+
+**Planning:**
+
+- If we work through this for a year from now, what are we happy with the projects being?
+	- Ex. We’re happy with the 1k projects being 500 beginner, 250 medium & advanced
+	- output is having something in the GitHub documentation that makes this explicit and it can help our marketing
+
+**Review process:**
+
+- Currently review is entirely dependent on Kevin and Daisy
+- Currently design is ambiguous about how original the work needs to be
+	- We can make a requirement in the PR that you can go through a tutorial but you need to go through each step and not copy the source files (ie. Gerber, kicad)
+		- “don’t copy and paste the board”
+		- “place the components yourself”
+		- “I made this board from scratch, even if I followed a tutorial”
+- Kevin is worried the $100 isn’t enough for advanced projects
+	- We can look into a second grant application process for advanced projects once we run into a lot of people making advanced projects. Before then is over-optimizing
+
+**Education:**
+
+- Getting started is still not quite figured out
+- We want more workshops created
+
+**Review process:**
+
+- We want to make sure people have enough funding for multiple runs so we'll update the grant to cover the minimum number of boards per batch (ie. 5)
+- Let's get a team to support Kevin
+
+**Distribution:**
+
+- How do we market to FIRST? Let’s do a couple things:
+	- Chief Delphi post
+	- Write a post for FIRST to send out (Zach)
+	- Write a post for FIRST to send to the PDP network (Zach)
+	- Get a quote from Dean saying “PCBs are important”
+		- We can do this for Vint Cerf and other “heroes” in tech
+		- eg. Lady Ada
+		- eg. Tom Preston-Werner
+		- eg. Tim Burner’s Lee
+		- eg. https://www.youtube.com/user/greatscottlab
+		- eg. https://www.youtube.com/user/styropyro
+		- eg. https://www.youtube.com/user/destinws2
+		- eg. Will.i.am
+		- eg. xyla foxlin
+		- eg. Lisa Su
+		- eg. michael reeves
+
+### TODO:
+
+- Update PR template saying “I made this board from scratch, even if I followed a tutorial” (Max)
+- Update PR template to say "smallest batch size" (Max)
+- John will reach out to "Heroes of computing" (examples listed above) for quotes
+- Create a planning doc "GOALS.md" (Max)
+	- Include in the planning doc that we want “multiple beginner projects, not just one that all are derivative from
+- Write a post for Chief Delphi (John, Kevin, Max)
+- Zach and John get together and write an IEEE grant request
