[Plsgs] SAPPS meeting summary

[Alexandra Dalaya]

Hello all,
*Please submit your answers to the poll by this Friday*! We have several
ties at the moment, so I am hoping we can get some more responses. Also, we
already have several fun logo ideas, so I am thinking that waiting another
week to vote for the logo may not be necessary. I will close the poll to
submit logo ideas this Friday (Sep 22), unless anyone is opposed. Let me
know if you have any questions.
