<div dir="ltr">Hi Bruno,<div><br></div><div>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 (<a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/astropy-dev">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/astropy-dev</a>) 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.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Tom<br><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 5 April 2018 at 16:38, Bruno Merin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bmerin@sciops.esa.int" target="_blank">bmerin@sciops.esa.int</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Dear Thomas, Eric, Adam and Sebastien,<div><br></div><div>I hope my message finds you well. Please forgive me for sending you a direct email like this but I wanted to reach out to all of you to ask whether you would see some interest in establishing some sort of discussion about possible cooperations between the astropy community and the <a href="http://ivoa.net" target="_blank">IVOA</a> community, which I am currently representing as member of its Committee on Science Priorities (CSP, in copy). We of course think that enhancing the mutual awareness might be positive for everyone, mostly given the recent changes on both sides. Hence my message.</div><div><br></div><div>We are <a href="http://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/InterOpMay2018MeetingtPage" target="_blank">meeting</a> from May 27th to June 1st of 2018 at the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC) in Victoria, Canada, and we would like to organize a session to discuss specifically ways in which we could collaborate with the astropy community such that Virtual Observatory resources (mostly accesses to data) are more easily available in the astropy context and viceversa. Would some of you available and interested to join the meeting, even if remotely, to give a general presentation about astropy and then maybe also to participate on a discussion about possible synergies? We would be very grateful for that. What do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>I found Sebastien Fabbro as one of the coauthors of one astropy <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.02634" target="_blank">paper</a> and based in Victoria (maybe) so I wondered whether you could be interested to join in person our meeting at least on the 1-2 hours when we discuss the possible astropy-IVOA collaborations. Would that be possible?</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks in advance for your time reading this email and I look forward hearing your thoughts.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Bruno</div><div>ps: please do forward my request to anyone in the astropy community that you consider should be involved in the conversation. Thanks in advance.</div><div>
