Priority 1

 * Famsco Update
 * AlexMaier reports
 * Famsco has met on Monday
 * We have appointed Max Spevack treasurer
 * he will be the person in charge of paying the reimbursement to the ambassadors
 * we have also decided that for each action item there will be one person responsible for it, such as events, or other initiatives
 * that means:
 * - making sure the local ambassadors who are responsible are doing what they are supposed to do
 * - making sure our process is being followed
 * - making sure they get their money from whoever in famsco pays it on time
 * - having the authority to pull the plug if everything is going downhill
 * you can see more detail on this at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Meetings/2006-04-10
