[Media] VO handouts -- what tools/services to highlight? Draft for **Dec 19**

[Bruce Berriman]

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for the e-mail. Thanks for offering to get this started - I regret I have a lot of deadlines in the next week (including the NAVO workshop for AAS) and can’t really take on the role of leading another task.

There are matters for us to consider though. How would this handout be distributed?  An obvious answer is from the from exhibits of organizations involved in VO work. But that may not be that simple. All materials distributed at the IPAC booth have to be approved beforehand (and there are always changes!), and our materials are supposed to be complete by this Friday. I am sure the other organizations have comparable review processes and deadlines. 

What to include?  Again not trivial - let’s say (just for example) we decide to talk about TOPCAT and ESASky. Such a handout would never be permitted at the IPAC booth because IPAC played no part in deploying these services. Now, I don’t have a answer to what we talk about, but I think if distributed through several booths, it has to emphasize things that are of value to the US community that the broader US VO effort was involved in. Will try to find a few cycles in the next day or so to think about this,so I’ll get back to you.

Cheers

Bruce
