Bingham Subject: Next IWG meeting: Mon 23 Oct 2000 - Updated agenda Version 18 Oct 2000 (Added LGS as item 3.5) Dear All, to remind you that the IWG is on Mon 23 Oct 2000, 10.00 - 17.00 at the Dept of Physics, University of Oxford, UK. The Oxford WWW Site has a how to get there page at http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/GettingToOxford.html. When you get there ask at reception for Gavin Dalton and the IWG meeting. Gavin is arranging a buffet lunch at ~13.00. If you have any special requests (e.g. vegetarian etc) please let Gavin know asap at gbd@astr.ox.ac.uk. Gavin, Richard, Ramon, Simon, Vik and myself are confirmed, and Konrad probably (can you confirm please?). Also attending will be Richard Myers (who'll talk about NAOMI and IR-TEIFU), Jim Lewis (about data pipelines) and (to be confirmed) Richard Bingham (on some of the design issues concerned with the integration of NAOMI+OASIS +/- Coronograph). Please note that the IWG minutes etc can be found on-line at http://zwolle.ing-slo.iac.es/IWG/Meetings/ Please look here for the minutes from last meeting and current action list. Hope to see you all next week.
