Robert and I have had a brief discussion today about this, and I  
think this would be a really valuable to bring the two (fairly  
closely related) communities together, and cut down on the travel  
costs for us poor schmucks that have to go to both meetings anyway...

Having now been around Santa Fe, it's a really cool little town.  
Sounds good to me...

Which would be great, if I can get my hands on the money to go to  
ADASS in late 2006, and a VOEvent/HTN workshop in early 2007. The  
ADASS in 2007 is in London isn't it? That one shouldn't be a problem!

Cheers,
Al.
