Meeting 7-12-08

People Present This Document is the result of a meeting between Sri, Chris, Richard, Marcin, Brittany and Yama at the Factor E Farm site. This is a meeting between OSE collaborators. The agenda for the meeting was to come up with a comprehensive list and plan for the future collaborators visiting this upcoming weekend. We decided to have a list of suggested items to bring, and a few paragraphs to inform the collaborators about what we will be doing, and what they can expect. It is not very often that Factor E Farm has this many collaborators at once, so we wish to be well prepared.
