<p>Dear Registry users and developers, Working Group members, dear
IVOA,</p>
<p>This is a call for contributions to the Registry session at the
upcoming IVOA Northern Spring 2025 Interoperability Meeting [1]
[2] which will take place at University of Maryland (College Park,
MD, USA), June 2-6 2025 (the meeting will be held in a hybrid
format).</p>
<p>During that meeting, we will host one<b> </b>regular<b> Registry
Session</b> (scheduled for Tuesday June 3, 2025 11:00-12:30
Eastern Daylight Time, UTC-4).</p>
<p><b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">W</span>e
are now soliciting input such as short presentations that you
wish to make and/or topics you wish to raise for discussion. </b>We
welcome publisher, developer, and end-user experiences with the
Registry as well as presentations on recently updated or upcoming
standards (see our current roadmap [3]).</p>
<p>We will also have a <b>Registry Spring Cleaning Hackathon</b>
(scheduled for Thursday June 5, 2025 14:00-15:30 EDT): The
Registry Working Group has begun to keep a project board on GitHub
[4] where we can track and discuss issues with the metadata in the
Registry that will make services and/or data harder to find.
Please come to our very first hackathon at the Interop if you are
interested in getting hands-on with how to fix issues in your own
services' metadata or if you are interested in contributing to the
(currently very simple) scripts that do the checks.<br>
</p>
<p>If you would like to present a topic, or if you want to raise a
subject for discussion, please contact us.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Regards,<br>
</p>
