Note.png
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 conflict, but the combination of meeting attendance plus email is a nice metric.

Meetings

FAmSCo held 3 meetings in January. Attendance was excellent:

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

Mailing list

FAmSco's mailing list received 78 messages this month (as of 6:02 PM EST on January 31):

  • Max -- 23
  • Joerg -- 22
  • Susmit -- 12
  • David -- 6
  • Maria -- 5
  • Rodrigo -- 4
  • Luca -- 4
  • Francesco -- 1
  • Paul -- 1
