This note is to announce that a number of VOEvent streams are being  
published through the Caltech node of VOEventNet.

We publish events through an Instant Messaging protocol called Jabber/ 
XMPP. Software to subscribe to this is available from
http://voeventnet.org/subscribe.html

We have translated GCN notices for quite a while and have both Jabber  
feed and also a web page that is updated whenever a new event comes.  
This page, as well as RSS feed can be found at
http://voeventnet.org/GCN.shtml

Also available from Jabber are OGLE events and now also the events  
from the SDSS supernova search.

The publication node names for these streams are:
estar		 		(Estar's translation of OGLE microlensing alerts)
gcnevents			(Caltech's GCN translation)
lanl					(LANL's GCN translation)
sdssss/events_2006		(SDSS supernova search events)

The Jabber client software can be retrieved from:
http://voeventnet.org/subscribe.html
