 Martin Voigt, co-chair changed affiliation
 (tell us more Martin! )

and that

 this group now has 40 members (are we getting anywhere near some critical
mass?)  Please introduce yourselves and let everyone know what you are
working on

One piece of data our user survey did not seek to identify is the
geographical location of participants. Could be useful for activity
planning purposes perhaps? (  Will post a quick survey in the future )

fyi, see the workshop CFP below

Look forward to learn more about what everyone is up to

Wishes for a  pleasant summer
