This week Brick by Bit IoT met each other, formalized a team structure, and created an identity for ourselves. We also made advances towards meeting our coach and liaison next week, with plans to gather more information about the project we have been tasked with.

We agreed to rotate roles every two weeks, and for the first week we assigned: Richard (Team Lead & Meeting Facilitator), Austin (Timekeeper & Scribe), Sam (Travel Coordinator & Research Liaison), Justin (Web/Blog Owner), and Mina (Timeline Manager). We selected our team name—Brick by Bit IoT—and sketched logo ideas of a brick dissolving into 1s and 0s. We sent our first weekly memo and a memo template to the coach for approval, discussed how we’ll handle weekly blog entries, and coordinated with Lawrence to schedule a lab tour.

Next week plans include having our meetings with the coach and liaison, getting a better understanding ofr the project and process’s we will take to complete it, and hopefully begin to set up our development systems with tools such as git and jira.
