This page contains information on meetings and schedules, on practical stuff, and some suggestions on background reading.

Brainstorm ideas for the project have been moved to the project page.

Spelen met de wiki doe je in de zandbak, vragen stellen of suggesties doen op de discussiepagina.

Meetings

Brainstorm

students and instructors brainstorm: Thursday May 22nd 10am @ ESAT 01.57

present: all students, SDK, LVA, YM, JR, GG, IT

Each student presented his/her 3 favourite projects of previous iGEMs. All project brainstorm ideas are moved to the project page. There, you can add links to your favourite projects and/or upload your presentation.
The group picture is on our team page.
Vote here for the logo you like best (thanks Jonas for the logo and Benjamien for the Zandbak and Discussiepagina idea!).
To make a summer schedule, please indicate your holiday plans below (Practical stuff - Planned summer holidays). The last exam is on June 27th.
Since the engineers want to see what's going on in the lab, and the biologists/bio-engineers want to learn about modeling, we'll organize some introductory tutorials in the beginning of the summer holidays.
Put ideas and suggestions for the wiki here.
Inge will inform whether the students can stay at the Studentenwijk Arenberg during the summer holidays.
You are all welcome to join the [http://www.kuleuven.be/bioscenter/ BioSCENTer launch event] (Wednesday 28th, Max Weber auditorium, Parkstraat 51). Our iGEM participation will be presented between 15.35 and 15.45.
Check out the [http://www.kuleuven.be/bioscenter/igem iGEM website] at [http://www.kuleuven.be/bioscenter BioSCENTer].

Good luck with the exams!

Practical stuff

nickvd: I propose to start working on the project the first week of July (read: Monday 7th). In that way we can get some rest after the exams, recharge our batteries so we can start working with a clear mind and full of motivation!

That would be excellent, because I' m going to Werchter... So I'm available starting from Monday 7th --Hanne 20:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
I thought there where some misunderstandings concerning the starting date. Do we all aggree to start the iGEM project on Monday July 7th? --nick
I am also back on the 7th. --Andim

Are there people that can start on Monday 30th of June or somewhere that week? For instance because they have few exams, don't like holidays... ;) For some BioBricks playing-around, preliminary testing, toy-modeling etc. --Inge

My last exam is on the 25th... I'll have a headache for the first two days and then I would like to review certain things on PID-controllers and Matlab, so I figure I should be able to start soon. --Antoine
I am can start the 30th, but don't know if I will be able to be there all day. However, from the 31st afternoon, I can start for sure. Benjamien
I should be able to start the 1st of July. Nathalie

Planned summer holidays

IT: August 2nd-17th
Benjamien: August 2nd-17th
nickvd: no holiday plans, only moving plans the first week of July. I would also prefer to end somewhere around September 10th to get some rest before my thesis year.
Stefanie: no holiday plans, only moving plans the first week of July.
Hanne: August 11th-17th, and two very short mini-breaks, but they aren't planned yet.
Jonas: I'm out of town September 15-21, no other plans yet
Elke: September 12th-19th
Jan: In the beginning of september I'm probably expected to start in the lab with my thesis, but maybe I can also work a week for my thesis in august so I can also participate a week in IGEM in september. I'll try to arrange what fits with my promotor, but it's too early to say. I don't have holiday plans yet, but if there's a gap when there's no work for IGEM, I'll probably go on holiday :)
Nathalie: I only planned something from June 28th until July 1st. So normally, I will be available all the time.
maarten: no holiday plans so far, but like nick I would also prefer to end somewhere around September 10th so I can relax a bit before I start working on my thesis
Antoine: 3 short breaks in August, not planned yet though
Andim: June 24th- July7th I will be at home in Istanbul, then the weekend after I am not here.
