Hi Jamie


We will be having a NAVO telecon tomorrow - would it be OK to share the latest version with the NAVO members.

Cheers

Bruce

Should we use the full link: "ivoa.net/astronomers/applications <http://ivoa.net/astronomers/applications>" or a shortened URL, say, "bit.ly/vo_apps <http://bit.ly/vo_apps>"?  I like how easy "vo_apps" is to remember, but I'd rather show "ivoa.net <http://ivoa.net/>" so people know who's maintaining the apps list.

If not you'll have to put ivoa.net/astronomers/applications <http://ivoa.net/astronomers/applications>

According to the VOpubs service (https://sdc.cab.inta-csic.es/vopubs/jsp/search.jsp <https://sdc.cab.inta-csic.es/vopubs/jsp/search.jsp>) these tools would be (in decreasing order of popularity):

What if the front-side is all science oriented, I remove the bit about IVOA, and add that "Want your data and software accessible by VO tech? Learn more at ivoa.net <http://ivoa.net/>" on the back?

I was thinking of organizing the logos in other sections:  "these booths have data access demos", "these booths have analysis tool demos", "these demos show interoperability", or something like that... Or, we can be more general and say, "come to these booths for VO software demos".
