Folks attending SPIE?

[Rob Seaman]

Howdy,

I have to apologize for not writing a summary of the many interesting discussions at the recent IVOA InterOp in Victoria.  Real, rather than virtual, concerns have been demanding my time.  Those who were at the InterOp are encouraged to offer their own thoughts.

Various VOEvent folks should be attending the Astroinformatics meeting in Pasadena over the next few days.  By all means you are encouraged to seize any opportunity you get to work on VOEvent related issues.

The face-to-face opportunities are coming fast and furious and the next chance to meet will be the San Diego SPIE in a couple of weeks.  I will be presenting a couple of papers and chairing a couple of sessions and I know various folks have submitted abstracts.  Speak up if you are planning to attend and perhaps we can get a lunch or dinner together sometime during the week.
