Summary of traffic on FAmSCo mailing list

Larry Cafiero informed [1] about an agenda item to postpone the FAmSCo meetings on Christmas Day and the New Year's Day. Neville A. Cross and others agreed with this move [2] with the notion that the FAmSCo members would be active and communicating during the holidays

Pierros Papadeas posted [3] Minutes of the Meeting from 2010-12-18 [4]

Joerg Simon copied [5] related to help required around FOSDEM

Igor Pires Soares asked [6] about continuing discussions around the "Regional IRC Sessions" agenda item in the Fedora Schedule which seemed a bit vague. The thread [7] has inputs from others about what could be a plan in the coming period about handling the IRC sessions productively.
