18:04:02 <fugolini> 2) Budget: local contacts, is everything ok?
18:04:02 <fugolini> 3) Regional updates: anything to report from regions? Why don't have a

18:04:03 <fugolini> other regional leaders)

18:04:38 <fugolini> #topic 1) Release Event Contest
18:04:57 <susmit> fugolini, but I think we can have these on the mailing list. I don't see any point in this meeting.
18:05:39 <susmit> everyone else seem to be  busy with their own works, which must be more important than this job.
18:06:29 <fugolini> I think the problem is that we are using a system made for consolidated groups
18:06:48 <fugolini> maybe we should re-think FAmSCo team work, in a simple but more effective way.
18:07:21 <fugolini> I have no problem to make a meeting with 2 people, absolutely.
18:08:03 <susmit> but what is the point of a meeting? communicating, right? to whom are we communicating where 5 members are absent?
18:08:12 <fugolini> The big problem is that we have to change from a standard scheme, we should use a dinamic system
18:08:50 <fugolini> susmit: you are right and it unreasonable to make a meeting with 2 people
18:09:01 <susmit> i don't have a problem, but has anyone suggestted that they are having problem with this time and it needs to be channged?
18:09:20 <fugolini> it's not a meeting time. it's a structure problem
18:09:49 <fugolini> during this week I had/ am having the possibility to understand the logic of teamwork and leadership
18:10:14 <fugolini> and sure I think instead of changing meeting time, we should work finding the best way to work.
