6.187 meetings, fopal

Monday 06/09/2025

First up, the monthly Resident Association meeting. No big news. Well, the official introduction of the serving robots with their new names. This pair of robots bring food out from the kitchen to the dining room. They’ve been with us about a year now. Last month the newsletter team ran a naming contest, and the team of impartial judges picked, out of over a 100 suggestions, Bonnie and Clyde. So today they were introduced at the RA meeting, then went to work. Here’s Bonnie at work at supper tonight.

I split from the meeting at 10 and headed down to FOPAL to do the pre-sale cleanup of my section. Back from that about 1, thinking I had a committee meeting at 1:30 but in fact it was 2:30 so I needn’t have hurried. This was the common area advisory group (CAAG), reacting to the tentative upgrade sketches we’d been shown 2 weeks ago. I talked them over with Joanne on 6.171 and with Bert and Patty a couple of other times. Today everybody in the 10-person committee aired their three top issues. Quite interesting. Pretty general agreement, though, that the architects have no clue how we actually use the common spaces we have now. We’ll see how much effect we have.
