Special Kickoff Session

The JACoW team is composed of a rolling set of editors (from past, present, and future conferences) and co-opted experts, plus any board members and officers who do not qualify as members under the previous two categories.

The team is part of a larger group of JACoW stakeholders that also includes

• Persons representing major laboratories, universities, and institutes
• Scientific program committee chairs of JACoW events (past, current, and future 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 was organised during the past years' TM programme. We called it the "Kickoff Session" for want of a better name. The session was generally felt to be useful, and it will be repeated this year.

When and Where

The Kickoff session will take place at DoubleTree by Hilton Trieste on Tuesday, 14 December afternoon, immediately following on the Pre-Team Meeting (by invitation only). The meeting will be 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 in this way meet the previous organizers in their conference series, and are 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.

See more details on the about this year's session on the Kickoff Session Organization page.

Team Members

According to the JACoW Charter, Team Members are the past, current and future editors in each conference series. Reproduced below is the current list of Team Members (Conference Editors) where known. Please take careful note, and inform Christine (christine.petit-jean-genaz@cern.ch) 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 the name of the editor, whether the editor is present or not, and Scientific Programme Chair. We will keep this up to date as Team Members register for TM'21. We will also add the names of any other persons representing conferences, including hopefully some SPC Chairs.
