No progress to show here, but why not? A bit less on the short notice side would be nice, though :)

Ok, guys. This moment. Right now.
This is when we need to gather all our energy and get this space ship safely landed on the moon. Traditionally we have started thinking of new teams and next year's TAC in the second half of December, so if we want to lead the 2012 Russian team to success, we have two-three weeks to give it our best shot, and get as far as possible. This is when the wimps get lost, this is when the ones with guts and strength show a bit of good old Finnish sisu, and charge on! AND THAT'S US!!!
Anyone up for a Skype session on this Sunday 8 o'clock Oslo time? That is 5 days from now, so we should all have time to make our arrangements, unless we are already busy with somethIng else. We can give each other encouragements, good advice, and if we can't find anything else to do, we could even spak some Russian :-)
- Lets update our logs
- let us have a look at the goals at the beginning of the year, and see what it is possible to do in two weeks to cover the gaps.
- let's post the result of those findings either here or in our individual logs
- let's shake a leg and actually get some good old results!
GO TEAM SPUTNIK!!

Retrorockets ready, language gear online, it's time to plot a course back to our solar system and land this space station in style! We've had an impressive flight together and gone where no TAC team has gone before; and now it's the final stage of our mission, like Cristina says, where we take note of our orginal TAC goals and see what we've accomplished this year, and post our updates both here for Mission Control and in our language learning starlogs. We've got just a little over a month left to make a glorious reentry into Earth's atmosphere, and I know that if we pull together, we can do this!
@Cristina
I'm up for a Skype session at the weekend, but 8pm on Sunday Oslo time is 7am Hawaii time (-11 hours). I can try to get up especially for the occasion, but can't guarantee I will have woken properly from my cryogenic sleep. ;)

Right now I'm busy doing other things but starting tomorrow I'll muster all the sisu there is to get me going again. It
would be great if the team could gain some momentum for the remaining weeks of this year.
I'll be in Berlin this weekend and can't promise I have a slot for skype Sunday night, but it would be great if I could
join you.
Let's roll!

@ Teango: What would be a better time for you?
I think the very latest I could manage on a Sunday evening is 21.30, given that I have to get up early the next day. Would that work for you? How about the rest of you, what would be a convenient time?
@aloysius: I think Tecktight is in Berlin, so if against all odds you were able to free a slot, perhaps the two of you could get together?

I'm free, let's get this party rolling :)
And Teango, -11 hours would mean it is 9 am your place.
