12pm - 1am but I had link problems and didn't attend. The transcript records many people introducing themselves - welcome new and old team members, I look forward to another year of manic activity, periodic terror and glee. The fabulous [personal profile] zooey_glass is taking on the role of chair - I have every reason to believe she will be fantastic and there's some creative re-shuffling of the committee structure planned.

I shall be release manager which I was already doing but it's now split off from the chair role and I'm looking forward to being able to focus on it. I'm also pleased and flattered people think this is a good idea (this may change in six months when everyone is cowering in fear and living in foxholes because I keep raving about deadlines and documentation).

I have cool stuff! I wheedled AO3 stats from [personal profile] elz (who was very generous with her time) back on the 22nd of Jan then failed to do anything with them so for the curious, here's the total counts for Category, Rating, Warning and Wordcount:

I love that there are two stories that are over 400,000 words. One of them is a WIP!

Very interesting.

I find the warnings statistics most interesting, I think, but the ratings are interesting, too--I'd have expected less gen. It'd be interesting to compare these with something like the pit of voles, or with stats for the AO3 six months from now.

Oo, thanks!
