FAmSCo report 2010-12

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 December. Attendance was as follows:

• 2 out of 2 -- Gerard, Igor, Kaio, Larry, Pierros
• 1 out of 2 -- Rahul
• 0 out of 2 -- Neville

Regional meetings

8 regional meetings were held and logged in December.

FAmSCo mailing list

FAmSco's mailing list received 79 messages this month, specially regarding the new meeting time and the assignment of tasks for new members.

General accomplishments or decisions

What is this section's purpose?
This section discusses the non-regional achievements within either FAmSCo or the larger Ambassadors project from this month.

• Pierros Papadeas elected as FAmSCo's new chairman.
• Caius Chance nominated as FAmSCo's vice-chairman.
• Larry Cafiero nominated as FAmSCo's Budget Manager.
• Assignment of FAmSCo tasks to new members.

Budget

Where does FAmSCo's budget come from?
The FAmSCo budget rolls up into the larger Community Architecture expenses. On that page, FAmSCo's budget is represented by the "Regional support" line item.

FY11

Total budget: $100,000

Total spend (through November 28): $54,335

We are currently on pace to finish under budget.

However, there are expenses from India/APAC from earlier in the year that still need to be found and accounted for, which will increase our total spend once they are accounted for.
