ChiBots Meeting Minutes – Sunday, June 13, 2010

The meeting was called to order by our President, Salvador G at 1310.  All of the officers, plus the Presentation Chairman were present.  We were joined later by the Competition Chairman.  This meeting was again on the second Sunday of the month, as will be all subsequent meetings this calendar year.  The turnout improved from the previous meeting, with several people attending for the first time.  This was due, in part, to our presence at the Embedded Systems Conference.
