IVOA Newsletter now available

[Mark Allen]

Dear Interop,

The first issue of the IVOA Newsletter is now available at
ivoa.net/newsletter, and via a link on the IVOA home page.
This biannual newsletter for astronomers is intended to highlight new
capabilities of VO tools and technologies for doing astronomy research.
It also lists recent papers, and upcoming events.

The Newsletter is being distributed via astronomy community mailing
lists. The IVOA exec members have been requested to advertise it in
their respective communities. There is also a sign-up for email
notifications of new issues.

Thanks to those who have helped in the preparation of this first issue,
and to the IVOA document coordinator. The editors will be looking for
short articles for the next issue early in the new year, with next issue
around May 2009.

Comments are of course welcome, and you may contact the editors directly
via ivoa-news-editors at ivoa.net .

thanks,
IVOA Newsletter editors
