Based on the attendance of this meeting, we cannot vote here (at this meeting)
Vote online by Wednesday’s meeting
By Wednesday, we will know which game we are working on
Thirdly:
Formalize teams (overlap into Wednesday most likely)
Determine which team/sub-group you are most interested in working in (or the admin.s can decide on one for you)
Leaders/chairs, as mentioned in the email, will be in charge of their work/schedule and will guide you along the game-making journey
You can switch teams after the game decision is made if you feel that your tallents would be better used elsewhere within PowerSource
(Will address more on Wednesday)
