Project deadlines make attending this workshop a non-starter for me,  
unfortunately.  But this may be a good time to mention a couple of  
future HTN / VOEvent opportunities.

After hours discussions (it may have been due to the Three  
Philosophers) at the recent SPIE resulted in floating the idea of  
merging the VOEvent III workshop with HTN III, with a date perhaps  
next spring.  Locale to be decided, but a certain small chichi arts  
capitol of a state to the east was mentioned.  Perhaps we could drum  
up another local sponsor in the SFI.  Their motto is impressively  
opaque:  "Transcending the usual boundaries of science to explore the  
frontiers of knowledge."

Also, we hosted a VOEvent BoF at the previous ADASS.  Perhaps an  
Autonomous Observing BoF at the next?  Phil Warner and I actually had  
the privilege of viewing the Garden of Earthly Delights by  
"Autonomous BoF" at the Prado in Madrid during the last ADASS...
