IVOA Announcement - 23 July 2020
===================================

The Northern Autumn IVOA meeting is planned for 3 days during the week of Nov 16.

The meeting organization will be similar to the May Virtual Interop meeting. We will use Zoom as our shared remote service, and Etherpad for live notes and questions. We are planning to keep presentations to a single thread (no parallel sessions) and save a good amount of the time for your input and discussion. Sessions will be recorded and posted so that if you miss a session you can go back and view it. We will work to schedule sessions with reasonable times during the day for 2 of the 3 sessions a day in your time zone.

We envision asking the community for topics/presentations as we did last time and welcome your participation. There will be a follow-on email in early fall with those instructions.

Please save the date, and we look forward to another engaging IVOA meeting in November.
