- thank you autumn
- Andrew made a nice sponsorship confirmation form. Send that out to sponsors first.
- Kelton: "As long as we get enough invoices to get food an t-shirts and as long as the money is in our accounts day-of, lgtm!"
- Ecolab confirmed at Silver, Veritas confirmed at some unknown tier. Brooksource said they would be "honored" to sponsor us. Best Buy seems interested (probably, but not confirmed).
