Present: Flemming, Alexei, Tommy, Mike, Gene, and myself

== Hardware

— continuing to clean TPC wheels for survey

— about 70% done

— Tonko is working inner sector electronics, so being careful not to interfere

— 3D sensor prototype has been built, looks okay

— want to put on TPC to check fit

— if okay will request manufacture of a support structure

== Electronics

— talked with Christian

— Christian has list of FEE cards to look at (about 10 in iTPC)

— few will need to be changed

— seems like mostly cable issues

— everything still moving forward 

— Alexei needs some access to some areas being used 

— need access once for testing and then again for mounting

— need to coordinate with Tonko to deconflict access

— will first finish with holes to which he currently has access

== Software

— reached out for space charge work 

— project with Rice students on PID

— students should join TPC group for discussions

— Richard will check with Yuri to ensure the right names are added to the TPC list
