NVO Summer School II

[Pepi Fabbiano]


Some of you have probably seen this remark, but i'd like to point out that the 
composite Cen A image was created by Margarita Karovska at cfa, as part of 
work in which I was one of the collaborators. It has become an icon, but 
Margarita should get the deserved credit!.

> Overview:
> 
> In this eight day, hands-on, summer school, participants will work with
> experienced NVO scientists and software developers to learn how to do
> astrophysics with the Virtual Observatory.  Participants will use the
> data discovery, data access and high-performance computing capabilities
> of the Virtual Observatory along with VO analysis tools and utilities.
> Everyone will have hands-on experience using VO tools and services in a
> series of exercises culminating in a major project.
> 
> We encourage applications from anyone interested in using the Virtual
> Observatory in their research, or in providing new VO services or tools
> to the community. We especially encourage advanced undergraduates,
> graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows to apply. Programming
> experience in environments such as Java, C++, C#, Python, or Perl will
> prove helpful, but is not required. The first two days are an
> introduction to assist participants who might want some additional
> background in programming environments and technologies used in the
> Virtual Observatory.
> 
> Space and budgetary constraints limit participation to 40 people.
> Applications will be reviewed by the organizing committee and
