Interop June 2026 - VOLLT Splinter

[Gregory MANTELET]

Dear VOLLT users (sorry for the spam for the others),

I have updated the /Evento/ to finally add the slot opposite to the Exec 
meeting. Feel free to update your vote or vote.

@Paul, I won't start right now the discussion in this thread, but I just 
need to comment on the migration (even partial) of VOLLT to 
https://github.com/ivoa. VOLLT is now a product of CDS. I appreciate 
your will to move it at the IVOA level, it proves the usefulness of 
ADQL-Lib, but I don't think it is something that can be decided by only 
a subset of the IVOA community. It clearly needs more thoughts. What can 
be done, however, is to move the repo in the CDS group 
(https://github.com/cds-astro). It is not exactly what you want, but at 
least the organization responsible of this library set is more visible. 
Anyway, it does not mean that we are close to collaboration...on the 
contrary, I would like to open it as soon as I have finished my current 
major refactoring of a part of the code. But let's speak about that 
during the splinter.

Cheers,
Grégory M.
