where<BR>representatives from every team meat to keep each other informed.<BR>There is a weekly get-to-gether for the whole company, where everyone<BR>is invited to present news, ask questions or invite to events. And a<BR>weekly meeting for our technical people to invite to and report back<BR>from technical discussions.
