Hi,
Following the success of the first NGT session at the Heidelberg Interop, we're seeing whether this should become a regular fixture and have scheduled a placeholder session for Hawaii. If you are interested in presenting, please let me know asap. From Norman's original solicitation:
"This session will be about techniques or technologies which should be in the IVOA's future, or which may provide alternative solutions to IVOA problems, but which aren't yet at a standardisable stage.
This might include:
* web developments (HTTP successors?)
* language developments (languages for natural parallelism?)
* database developments (is nosql now passé?)
* UI developments (does an image viewer _without_ a game controller make sense?)
We can run this as a conventional session, with a sequence of timed talks, or if there's more interest we can run it as a sequence of lightning talks, or an unconference (I'm happy to take suggestions on format, too)."
Cheers,
Matthew
