PB: CERN video conferencing (VRVS) was used successfully by two stations during last e-VLBI run, worthwhile to test further.
Next meeting
AS noted
that a lot of momentum has been generated in e-VLBI and with many projects funded
and underway fast developments can be expected. This also means that
the next meeting will be part of the EXPReS project and that the format of
these meetings may change.
Schiphol still seems to be
the preferred venue. March 2006 was set as a tentative date for the next
meeting. After the meeting, two participants suggested video conferencing as a
possible alternative.
