[Richard Witt <witt AT usna.edu>]

Present: Alexei, Yuri, Flemming, Gene, Jim, and myself

== Hardware

— problem about gas from chemical management system

— exceeded our methane for building 1006 

— we have 10,000 ft^3, limit is apparently 3,000 ft^3 (1 6-pack is 2,000 ft^2)

— will talk to safety folks

— perhaps limit is related to building, not gas pad?

— two issues, accounting and amounts we are allowed to use and store according to new limits

— Alexei will contact new safety liaison to pursue issue and solution

== Electronics

== Software
