1) Gen Collaboration Meeting scheduled for December 14, 2004
2) Introduction of Neil Thompson, our grad. student from Glasgow.
   He will be on site until December, to work with BR on software 
   for N20, and will work on software (analysis + simulation) for 
   the neutron detector. He reports, that John Annand will come 
   early November, and the detectors from Glasgow should arrive at 
   JLab in Mid November. They are currently tested at Glasgow.
   Timing resolutions of 125ps (sigma) have been achieved.
3) Introduction of Matt Bellis, postdoc from CMU.
   He will be working on the neutron detector, especially on 
   the CMU type bars. Again they will come in November.
4) TA informs us, that Tim Holmstrom should be available 
   soon for working on the GEn experiment for some period
   (until Happex requires him back), and asks if there is a good 
   project.
5) BW reports:
   - Hakob Voskanyan is nearly done with his work on the veto bars
   - Albert Shahinyan will organize and arrange the newly available 
     space in the TestLab
   - airflow for the N20 setup in the Hall is installed
     however at this time the distribution of sufficient airflow
     to the full N200 setup is not yet worked out
   - N200 design: the design for the cage is expected to be finished
     by October 15, so that hopefully we can order it Mid November
   - due to the forced delay of the requisition of the BigBite 
     detector frame, the design could be updated, a lot of tolerances
     had been very tight, the design is updated with relaxed 
     requirements - which should make the frame cheaper. It will go 
     out for bid, and should be here in Feb. 05
   - the first UVA drift chamber is back in operation for cosmic tests
   - Man power issues for the BigBite detector work are discussed.
   - Plans to test the UVA drift chamber during the SRC experiment 
     are discussed
6) We are still looking for 15k USD needed for the remaining parts 
   of the trigger scintillator plane. GC will inquire if he can 
   get money from DOE.
7) AG shows some drawings for target work and reports that he 
   works with the engineers/designers from ACC on the cage for 
   the neutron arm
8) DH reports on the status of BigBite: the SRC experiment will 
   be installed in December 2004. BigBite magnet is in the Hall,
   and is waiting to be powered up, some electrical safety issues
   have to be resolved, before this test.
9) GC inquires about the document for the readyness review. BR 
   will take care of it (meaning ask people to contribute)
10) discussion about manpower
11) meeting adjourned,  people are getting hungry
