Call for contributions to next IVOA newsletter

[Mark Allen]

Dear all,

I would like to call for contributions to the next (2nd) issue of the  
IVOA
newsletter that we intend to publish in May around the time of the  
interop
meeting.

The IVOA newsletter aims to bring the latest news about Virtual  
Observatory
applications to astronomers by drawing upon developments throughout the
international VO community and the national projects linked by the IVOA.
It is composed of short (~100 word) articles highlighting new VO  
capabilities,
together with a list of recent papers and upcoming events.

Articles are to be submitted to ivoa-news-editors at ivoa.net  by April 30.

Contributors are requested to use the same brief format for articles  
as used in the first issue
(http://www.ivoa.net/newsletter). This is a short text highlighting a  
new application or feature, with a single small
image (that may expand to a larger one via a link) and a URL for more  
information. Remember that
the audience is the general astronomy scientific community so VO  
jargon must be minimised,
and usefulness to astronomers maximised!

Articles will be chosen and edited by the Newsletter Editors. We hope  
to be as inclusive as
possible, and the newsletter will be checked by an oversight committee  
prior to release.

best regards,
Mark Allen
