- Dave: working on all the cathodes for package #1. Using the new tool to hold the cathodes flat, two cathodes moved to tables and the cards are being glued there. Will have cathodes for the first, second, and third cells  by next Tuesday, next Thursday, and next next Tuesday respectively. This is assuming one cathode per day, which is limited by the tools that we use now.

- Dave: Need to put the cards on another two cathodes and we will be ready with the first three cells that will go in package #1. Chris put the resistors on one PCB set and Casey started today making the PCB ring for wire frame #28. It will be laminated beginning of next week and Anatoly will put and test the HV caps before the end of the next week.  
  
- Wire frames: Chris will put the resistors on the first PCB set next week. Then we will start laminating the wire plane #29, we have a frame for it. The other three G10 wire frames will come from the machine shop in ~2 weeks. Fernando and Bill confirmed that the new PCBs can be used.

- Eugene: in order to expedite the solenoid testing, the plan so far is that three of our techs will be taken from us for two months, October and November. Dave and Anatoly will still work on the FDC. In case we need somebody for a short time, like half a shift, we should discuss this with Tim and Tom in advance.
  
- Roger got quotations from Allflex and Flexible Circuits, the two Minnesota companies that made the cathode foils and the rigid-flex assemblies. According to Allflex they have material for 18-19 foils and we asked for 20. We will need the foils for some of the cathodes on package #2. Based on Dave's estimations for the refurbishment of the first package and then completion of the fourth one, we will need the foils sometime in November-December. In any case it's better to submit the PRs now and contact Eugene to use funds (~$26K) from FY12, if possible?

Production

- Dave: Need to put the cards on another two cathodes and we will be ready with the first three cells that will go in package #1. Chris put the resistors on one PCB set and Casey started today making the PCB ring for wire frame #28. It will be laminated beginning of next week and Anatoly will put and test the HV caps before the end of the next week.

- Eugene: in order to expedite the solenoid testing, the plan so far is that three of our techs will be taken from us for two months, October and November. Dave and Anatoly will still work on the FDC. In case we need somebody for a short time, like half a shift, we should discuss this with Tim and Tom in advance.
