Special Kickoff Session

JACoW Team Members are the past, current and future editors in each conference series.

While each conference in a series should be one of the very first places for past, current and future editors/IT people, etc. to meet and establish continuity, and where newly appointed editors should get hands on experience in editing, and learn from their predecessors, it often happens that "future" editors are only named once the previous event in the series is past. This makes it even more important that past, current and future editors, in each series, where known, attend the annual JACoW Team Meetings.

This is such an important element of the "JACoW Model", that attendance at annual Team Meetings is one of the very few boundary conditions for membership of the JACoW Collaboration.

In order to underline the importance JACoW attaches to coordination and continuity within each conference series and within JACoW as a whole, a new event is being organised within this year's TM programme. We have called it the "Kickoff Session" for want of a better name.

When and Where

The Kickoff session took place at the "Vergelegen" room at the Lord Charles Hotel on Monday, 3 December, from 16:00 to 18:00, immediately following on the Pre-Team Meeting (by invitation only). The meeting was followed by a get together snacks and drink.

Organization

Following introductions, representatives of each series will be invited to hold a short discussion and to nominate a spokesperson to introduce the conference series, and say a few words about the events, in particular concerning size, frequency, attendance, contributions, organization, etc. Newcomers will in this way meet the previous organisers and be able to benefit from their experience throughout the Team Meeting, and also become more familiar with the whole JACoW Collaboration.

If no "previous" editor in a given series is present, efforts will be made to match newcomers to conference series similar in size, etc.

A number of JACoW "regular" experts, who may not currently be involved in the organization of any JACoW events, will also be on hand to provide information and guidance.

Team Members Present at TM

As far as possible, we reproduce below the Team Members (Conference Editors) in each conference series where known, ranging from several recent, current and several future events scheduled. Please take careful note, and inform Christine (christine.petit-jean-genaz@cern.ch) and David (dbu@ansto.gov.au) if any of this information is incorrect. Newcomers are particularly welcome to ask questions in advance, as well as those persons perhaps standing in for their colleagues. Further below is a table showing each conference, near past, current and future in each series, with registered Team Members, or other persons representing the events.
