	SIGFSM [www.aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=SIGFSM] is actively meeting at its main conference FSMNLP, which is held biennally (next in 2015). This year (2014) we will hold the ACL workshop MORPHFSM [https://sites.google.com/site/morphfsm2014/] jointly with SIGMORPHON. Our main conference FSMNLP typically attracts 30-50 participants and is organized as a stand-alone conference at locations where the local research community is involved in developing or using finite-state techniques. The next location will be Düsseldorf, Germany in 2015.

	We are still trying to grow SIGFSM into a more coherent and active community. We now publish proceedings of our events (FSMNLP 2011, 2012, 2013 and ATANLP 2010, 2012 and MORPHFSM 2014) in the ACL Anthology, but it remains a challenge (legal and otherwise) to import the proceedings of older workshops into the ACL Anthology. Our main conference FSMNLP is held biennally and we will consider running it as an ACL conference satellite event in order to make it more visible, to make it widely accessible (at lower cost), and to reduce the overhead work in workshop organization.

== Summary ==

Currently, SIGFSM is actively meeting at its main conference FSMNLP, which is now held biennally (next in 2015). This year (2014) we will hold the ACL workshop MORPHFSM jointly with SIGMORPHON. Our main conference FSMNLP typically attracts 30-50 participants and is organized as a stand-alone conference at locations where the local research community is involved in developing or using finite-state techniques. The next location will be Düsseldorf, Germany in 2015.

We are still trying to grow SIGFSM into a more coherent and active community.
