As usual, France-VO (the Action Spécifique Observatoires Virtuels or ASOV) opened a call for proposals to support travels to the IVOA Interoperability meetings, collaboration meetings between French teams and meetings on specific topics. The 2017 ASOV meeting will be held 15-16 March in Paris, with participants from Nice, Marseille, Montpellier, Toulouse, Grenoble, Besançon and Strasbourg, plus from Paris and Paris region labs. The meeting agenda (in French) is here: [[http://www.france-ov.org/twiki/bin/view/ASOVFrance/ReunionASOV2017]]. The meeting will be followed on 16 March by a "Semi-Hack-a-Thon" meeting allowing technical discussions among data providers, including but not only on the implementation of the VO framework. A "beginner training" on the implementation of the VO will be held on 17 March.

Participating projects included: [[http://ads.harvard.edu/][ADS]], [[http://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/][CXC]], [[https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/][HEASARC]], [[https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/frontpage/][IRSA]] , [[http://physics-astronomy.jhu.edu/][JHU]], [[https://www.lsst.org/][LSST]], [[https://archive.stsci.edu/][MAST]], [[https://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/][NED]], [[https://www.noao.edu/][NOAO]], and [[https://science.nrao.edu/][NRAO]] .

Highlights from the meeting were
   * New and updated services / applications 
      * *New service* &ndash; [[http://datalab.noao.edu/][NOAO DataLab]] (beta 1)
      * [[http://www.sciserver.org/][SciServer]] updates: Altair, SkyQuery, Compute, SciDrive hookup to CasJobs
      * [[http://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/iris][Iris 3.0]]: updated plotting and fitting interface _(promoted from beta to release on 06Mar17_)
      * SIA v2 service implemented in [[http://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/ui/?q=vo/SIA_Service][NED]]
      * [[https://archive.stsci.edu/index.html][MAST]]: ObsTAP available for all MAST observations. Hubble Source Catalog complete.

   * Standards statuses: 
      * VO-DML (VO Data Modeling Language) collaboration between CXC, JHU, STScI, and Univ. Strasbourg. Prototyping reference implementations to several formats and reworking syntax based on results.
      * HiPS (Hierarchical Progresssive Survey) work is planned at CXC and MAST.
      * CAOM (Common Archive Observation Model). While not a VO standard, US VOA participants are working to build interoperability with CAOM data.

      * ADS: VO compliancy updates and to-do&rsquo;s &mdash; call for suggestions / enhancements in ADS for interoperability with other services.
      * HEASARC: VO compliancy updates
      * JHU: VO-DML work, SciServer updates
      * IRSA: Cone, TAP, and SIA services implemented. Currently working SIA v2, SSA, VOWorkspace, and CAOM services/models
      * LSST: VO areas of interest &ndash; SCS, SIAP, and TAP access will (almost certainly) be enabled within the interfaces and workspace
      * Chandra CXC: working NDCubeDM, DatasetDM, STC2. HiPS implementation work.
      * NED: working on TAP interface to NED Object Database, with version 1.0 expected to be released in late 2017.
