2020-08-19 ZLC Agenda

1) Request from Robert A Dahlberg <dahlbergra@vcu.edu that went to omp technical dist list and John
forwarded to ZLC private: 

        We have a need for some student projects for Western University in Ontario.
        They want to participate in our Projects for credit.  
        If you have projects needing staffing, and are interested in mentoring a student 
        (maybe once a week to give guidance) please let me know, ASAP.  The new semester starts soon.  
        Just an hour a week or every other week  -  @15 weeks.   August to the end of November.

        WU has 2 students interested in projects in the Fall and 4 interested in Spring Projects. 

        We anticipate the demand for more projects will grow, as universities are looking to expand 
        their workforce development programs and industry projects are needed.

        Good way to get your project some much needed resources.  These students will be vetted, 
        only the top students will be granted an opportunity to participate.

        Please let me know ASAP or if you have any questions.

Ideas on squads that could help?
