Weekly report for the week ending 23rd of May


Last week I said I would:
  1. Get agreement on a more detailed schedule for the cross product integration plans (not done - there was a change in management team in the other group and so the other manager needed some more time to familiarise herself with the detail of the project before committing)
  2. Revise the sample chapter for the IBM 2.0 book project. By the middle of the next week I hope to have an updated version ready for review within the team so that we can send to Springer ahead of our commitment at the end of May. (partly done - I have exchanged emails with Gabriela about the changes, but we agreed that she will do the physical typing so I need to wait for her)
  3. Make a final attempt to agree next steps for Ireland/China exchange program - or else get agreement to drop the proposal (made attempt but not a positive response)
  4. Start work on the 2010 promotion review process (done - process is under way)


Next Week I will do the following actions:
  1. Get agreement on a more detailed schedule for the cross product integration plans
  2. Help run the SWG Ireland All-hands meeting through the new Sametime Meeting Room with AV support to showcase the use of our own technology.
  3. Help Gabriela to revise the sample chapter for the IBM 2.0 book project.
  4. Announce that we will drop the proposal for Ireland/China exchange program.
  5. Complete first pass of the 2010 promotion review process for the more junior bands.
