			Here is the latest issue list for HAL after Crew 197's rotation.
			#HAL is set up at the MDRS and connected to the Github repo. It successfully runs on the touchscreen (which is mounted to the wall in the Upper Deck) and
			#The Raspbian install still has a screensaver (blank) after 10 mins or so, we should disable that for the touchscreen.
			#I could never get it to run on boot to the correct screen. I had trouble setting the 'export VC_DISPLAY=4' variable for a shell process prior to running HAL. It would always show up on the main screen.
			#Google Calendar's API is inconsistently returning results from the Hab, likely due to the poor internet connection. We should replace that feature with a local-based JSON file with the Crew's daily schedule, and a tool for them to maintain it.
			#MarsChat worked great.
			#Time worked great, although we might remove the leading "0" and the seconds.
			#Weather worked great, although not all the possible weather symbols are implemented. Also, the weather is Hanksville, since there is no API for our local Bloomsky weather station that's attached to the MDRS Robotic Observatory.
			#Bandwidth monitor still needs to be implemented based on the router scrape. I wrote code to scrape the router but I did not have time to complete the UI display during the rotation, mostly because I had a lot of trouble using the Internet to do research for code troubleshooting.

			#Ensure python3.7, PIP 18.1, Cython 0.28 and Kivy 1.10.1 are all the default and running without a virtualenv. Eg: "python -V" and run not as root should be 3.7.
