Notes from 2/22/2011 Meeting with Dr. Lindner

The goal of today's meeting with Dr. Lindner was primarily to show her our presentation for next week's meeting with Richard. Dr. Lindner approved the presentation, but had a few suggestions:

1) Change title from "Design Specifications" to "Proposed Design Elements (or Options)"
2) Add the slides from the last meeting with Sokany
3) Prepare a notebook for Richard that includes:
- a list of questions
- our contact information
- a copy of the presentation

Other items discussed:
  • In the future, plan to have 1 meeting per semester with Richard
  • Maximum cost of latrines (~$50)?
  • Remind Richard of Banquet on April 6th
  • Add a couple of days to our assessment trip and conduct a program about engineering. Ask Macedonia about their education program. Connect with schools in Cambodia, Cambodian engineers, and university faculty.
  • Create a fundraising project for home gardens
  • Address water management issues in a second phase, overlapping with the latrines (Phase 1: Latrines --> Phase 2: Water Management). *Set intentional target dates
  • Develop a means of gaining photo permission (ie. signing a statement of consent) to address ethics
Next meeting: Sunday February 27th @ 8:00 pm
