Monday Feb 1st Meeting

In our meeting on Monday Feb 1st, the whole group and mentors were present. We discussed the following points:

1. Blog
Everyone should participate in blog writing. After each lecture, one group member will be responsible for writing a more general entry including his/her own reflections, that others can comment on. Otherwise everyone is encouraged to write and discuss about anything related to the project.

2. Work plan
We discussed about the current work plan chapters and how they should be developed. The responsibilities were distributed as follows:
- Miina: Write a general introduction
- Eddie: Edit project scope and description chapters
- Majid: Write about information dissemination and sustainability of the project
- Irena: Project objectives and their indicators
- Teddy: Edit the timeline of the project.

3. Workshop
The upcoming workshop was also under discussion. We agreed that the workshop could work as forum where we could get fresh ideas about the general structure of the solar concentrator, focusing of panels, different applications etc.

4. Materials
We ended the meeting with some general discussion on the project. Possible materials were especially under discussion. Irena had a great thought about using CDs as reflectors. Other possibility that we talked about was aluminium foil. We agreed we would do some further research on the two reflector materials in terms of reflectivity, durability, focusing etc.
