FAmSCo report 2010-05

Basic FAmSCo activity

What is this section's purpose?
This section gives some quick health indicators about how much FAmSCo is communicating. Sometimes FAmSCo members can't make a meeting due to travel or conflicts with their $DAYJOB, but the combination of meeting attendance plus email is a nice metric.

FAmSCo meetings

FAmSCo held 3 meetings in May. Attendance was as follows:

• 3 out of 3 -- Joerg, Susmit, Maria, David
• 2 out of 3 -- Max
• 1 out of 3 -- Luca
• 0 out of 3 -- Rodrigo

So far this year, FAmSCo has held 17 meetings. Overall attendance has been:

• 17 out of 17 -- Joerg, Susmit
• 15 out of 17 -- David
• 14 out of 17 -- Maria
• 12 out of 17 -- Max
• 11 out of 17 -- Luca
• 10 out of 17 -- Rodrigo

Regional meetings

One of FAmSCo's goals this year is to make sure that at least one FAmSCo member is at each regional meeting that is held.

As of the time this report was prepared, 6 regional meetings held in May had been logged.

• NA -- 2 meetings, both attended by David and 1 attended by Max.
• EMEA -- 2 meetings, 1 attended by Joerg.
• APAC -- 2 meetings, but no FAmSCo members in attendance.
• LATAM -- 0 meetings listed on the page.

FAmSCo mailing list

FAmSco's mailing list received 29 messages this month, which is not good. We need to pick up the pace of the mailing list discussion.

• Joerg -- 15
• Susmit -- 6
• Max -- 3
• David -- 3
• Rodrigo -- 1
• Luca -- 1
