All,
 
Hey just wanted to thank everyone who came out to Saturdays meeting at the  
warehouse.
I know that Ed Paradis, our new club secretary (Thanks Ed!),  will have the 
points discussed and summary of what was show off...
 
Not trying to do any of your job, Ed...
 
Doug Emes (not Evens!) inherited the library giant mess as new club  
librarian.
Glenn Pipe new VP -- will leave him alone for  a while after doing  such a 
nice job on last contest!
 
Of course the ever present Martin Meier as  Treasurer  --  be nice to him - 
(only I am permitted to abuse  him)
Steve Rainwater as ever present Webmaster -- thanks Steve!
We did not see Kip Moravec. Hope you, Kip, will hang in there as postmaster  
- Thanks!
 
Thanks also, to departing President, Eric Sumner -- who is taking on  spring 
contest coordination.
We missed Dale Wheat departing VP -- hope to see you soon,Dale.
 
A big thanks to all our Members who are spread across the country / world.  
You membership contribution help us sustain our cause -- also to those  
members/and not who contribute to DPRGlist -- very nice! 
 
One thing that was discussed just a bit outside the meeting was navigating  
Eric's proposed new 
"Conetest". In particular was weaving the cones.
 
My hope is that during then next few RBNOs we spend at least a little time  
playing with some beacon ideas so that we might present them at the next  
meeting. 
 
Of course some odometry discussion in coming months will be great  too.
 
We attracted some new attendees and would be great to get all of us moving  
in the direction of participating in the next contest.
 
The warehouse (DPRG Clubhouse) worked well for the meeting. We need to  adapt 
the best arrangement for tables and chairs for the meeting and also for  
demos and discussions after. Was really nice to have no time constraints after  
the meeting and their were many conversations that followed.  With that  said, I 
would like to continue holding monthly meetings at the clubhouse for the  
next few months to continue a trial of the space. As always, our gratitude to  
Mike Dodson for providing us the clubhouse space.
 
Looking forward to a great year!
 
Let's have some fun furthering our knowledge and interest in the field of  
robotics and in sharing our knowledge with others.
 
 
Ron Grant
DPRG President
