10/6/2004 - Network protocols

  
Primarily, from Monday, 27th of September 2004 to last Monday, October 4th 2004, the group has had two conferences. At the first meeting the entire group met. People from the computer science section were invited. Network protocols were our main discussion point at this meeting since the CS majors were present. On Sunday during the second meeting a final review on the Business Plan was done. Funding was another issue that was discussed. Some of the members suggested incorporating Wi-Fi protocol since it’s the widely used wireless protocol at the moment. We all decided to come to a decision after a week of researching on that.
