Meeting Minutes – 03/05/17
Our tenth meeting contained discussion of wrapping up the blog in time for the deadline.
We had a brief informal meeting last week to catch up after the easter break.
Meeting 10: 3rd May
Implementation Technology
In this short video, I discuss some of the main requirements for an implementation technology, and also discuss three potential approaches to building the Buccaneer network.

And as soon as a web page is available, this is where you will see it. The domain name isn’t pretty, but at the end of the day it’s there so we can easily share our prototypes!
