## Minutes

_last week recap_
- cross-team breakout room
Trish - we've been enjoying breakout rooms which we could maybe utilise a bit more ?
Josh - it's quite difficult to pop into another breakout room without allotted time for it

- poadcast
Azizi - we now have two podcasts in the making, I could pop a rough draft into the channel. If ephie can sort out an intro that would be amazing
Rihards - Terry mentionned he might have some tunes for him
Terry - I'll have a look and see what I can do

- mini lessons and tools that the cohort uses
Trish - I suppose we did that with the spikes this week
Jack - this as the first week we did spikes in your project groups, I think it worked quite well
Zoom chat - everyone mentionning they loved this new format

Ephie - can you fastforward the recordings ?
Trish - yes I assume so

- FAC20 group photo
Jess - can it be your favourite fancy dress you've done ? or regular clothes?

- share employment hacks
Trish - I think we've been doing it quite successfully, any thoughts ?
silence

_STOP_

_GO_

Jess - what happened to the socials ?
Ephie - I would like to point out that I tried to organise one but I got aired.
Josh - I made one a few weeks ago and very few people turned up. I think ultimately it's on the FAC cohort as a whole

Azizi - if you show up to the podcast that's basically like a social
Trish - what do you talk about ?
Azizi - it would be really good to interview people about their student projects, but it's kind of anything so far - it's a great chance for me to find out how you got to FAC

Trish - any more points ? let's take a poll to see what night people would be available for
--> poll voted wednesday

- Dressing as food items
Azizi - I loved your outfit Jess and was very happy you wore it as long as you did

- FANCY DRESS!!!!!!!! - kings next week (and queens?) - only drag queens
- 
- tech spikes in design week <<< Tailored to your projects tech requirements
Terry - my part was saying it was really handy doing spikes related to our project
Josh - yeah just what Terry said. It was very useful to have time to go away and have a discussion about using technnologies and then researching them. It promotes pushing the boat out and learning new things

- To do Podcasts
Rihards - can I change and ask to say our action

- Communicating honestly with POs
Josh - I just think we've just got a much clearer picture because of our honesty with the PO. If you're falling behind let them know they're going to have to cut something sooner rather than later
Jihyun - how did you talk to your PO ?
Ephie - at some points I straight up just said no
Josh - I think we just got off on a good foot where we could be quite honest. We said we only have so much time, be prepared to sacrifice. We gave her options too and she was happy with that.
