[csp] possible astropy - IVOA discussion/collaboration ?

[Thomas Robitaille]

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for reaching out! Indeed I think it would be great to see more
collaboration between Astropy and IVOA. I am personally going to be very
busy in the next few weeks, but I would actually suggest emailing the
astropy-dev mailing list (
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/astropy-dev) to ask more broadly if
people would be interested in joining the meeting and the telecon you are
planning. I'll fill the doodle poll in case I can join the telecon.

Cheers,
Tom
