IVOA Executive Committee Meeting (TM24)Telecon: 12 July 2007 @ 15.00 GMTLogisticsTelecon:Agenda (DRAFT)
Reports from the ProjectsArVOAstroGridAustralia-VOChina-VOCVOVObs.it (aka DRACO) ItalyEuro-VOFrance VONo report was posted on the FM23 web page. This report summarizes France-VO activities since TM22 (8 March 2007). (1) France-VO supported French participants to the several international meetings, from its own funds, in complement to funding by the laboratories, or by evaluating funding requests made in the frame of the French participation to the Euro-VO Data Centre Alliance project. French teams very actively participated in the Beijing Interoperability meeting (18 French participants), with talks presented in particular in the Applications, Data Access Layer, Data Modeling, Semantics and VO Query Language WG sessions, and at the Theory IG meeting. There was also an active French participation to the two Workshops organised by the Euro-VO Data Centre Alliance and Facility Centre. The 'Astronomical spectroscopy and the Virtual Observatory' Workshop (ESAC, 21-23 March 2007) was well attended by scientists interested in spectroscopy and French VO teams (22 participants from French laboratories), thanks in particular to the triggering activity of the France-VO Spectroscopy Working Group at the national level. In addition, several laboratories developing or willing to develop VO services were represented at the 'Euro-VO Workshop on how to publish data in the VO', and three sessions were organised by CDS staff. (2) Meetings organised by the France-VO (AS OV) Working Groups since February 2007:

VOEventVOQL WGVOTable WGAstro-RG IGData Curation and Preservation IGDCP IG Chair Hanisch polled the interop e-mail list on 27 June to see how many people were interested in this IG. 18 responses were received, which is a sufficiently high level to warrant planning for an IG session at the September Interop meeting in Cambridge. Data preservation is also a key topic for the ADASS conference that immediately precedes the Interop.Theory IG-- NicholasWalton - 29 Jun 2007 <--
