Just so long as it isn't in the winter I vote "aye." (Canada has a bad rep for winters here in SoTex.) :-) However, let me suggest that this might be an opportunity not only to get together but to have a set of topical presentations on "The Way Forward." Surely things like the video observers' growing contributions and Ted's ObsReduce have built on the admirable classical methods; standardizing data formats has also been a big help. These recent developments show what can be done with modern resources, and there are other potential ones out there. Automated telescopes, further image/data reduction routines, automated prioritization of observations and the like come to mind. Having a meeting next Canadian spring/summer with a day for people to present their ideas and current projects dealing with such matters is something I'd advocate. The time between now and then could be used for proposing topics, getting ideas, preparing presentations, etc. Someone would need to coordinate this to some extent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
