Hi,

I would like to request that, even if a team doesn't have a representative
at a scrum of scrums meeting, the team submit a written status report that
can be included in the SOS notes. I read these SOS notes to try to keep up
to date with the many technical and product developments in the enormous
Wikiverse, and it is helpful to me to read high level summaries from each
team in the SOS notes.

Thanks,
--
