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.

This section discusses the non-regional achievements within either FAmSCo or the larger Ambassadors project from this month.
This section discusses the non-regional achievements within either FAmSCo or the larger Ambassadors project from this month.
- The first FAmSCo townhall meeting was held, and it was generally constructive.
- Concerns were expressed about "bad" booth behavior after FOSDEM. FAmSCo discussed it and decided to leave the final decisions about booth behavior at events to the event owner, or the folks who are in charge of that event's booth.
- FAmSCo has decided to create a page for "things to show on your laptop during an event".
- FAmSCo was notified about a case of dispute between a mentor and a mentee. FAmSCo decided to create a Ambassadors/dispute resolution standard operating procedure for ensuring prompt action for settling such disputes.
- FIXME -- We should move this into the March report, if the meeting was held on March 1. We should also link to the meeting minutes. FAmSCo has decided to have a mentor meeting, with the goal being to collect feedback for improving the mentoring process.
- FAmSCo has decided to open up the FAmSCo trac, but not before Max deletes all the tickets with private info.
- Paul Mellors is now a Mentor.
- FAmSCo has decided to replace the Ambassadors FAQ with a page like this. Help is needed from the ambassadors for building this.
- FAmSCo will triage all the outdated pages in the Ambassadors category. The pace will be 20 pages/week.
