FAmSCo report 2010-09

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 2 meetings in September. Attendance was as follows:

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

So far this year, FAmSCo has held 26 meetings. Overall attendance has been:

• 24 out of 26 -- Joerg
• 24 out of 26 -- Susmit
• 22 out of 26 -- David
• 21 out of 26 -- Maria
• 19 out of 24 -- Max
• 13 out of 24 -- Luca

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, 3 regional meetings held in August had been logged, all count with at least 1 FAmSCo member.

FAmSCo mailing list

FAmSco's mailing list received 62 messages this month, coordinating on some swag-related questions, and filling in conversation when we didn't have a meeting.
