We also need more attendees, so get this trip approved and come on out to learn more about where HDF is going! NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Earth Sciences Data and Information System Project and The HDF Group are presenting the HDF and HDF-EOS Workshop XII to discuss use of the HDF standards in satellite observations of the Earth and related applications.

The workshop will be held at the Doubletree Hotel in Aurora, CO and will consist of presentations, discussions, tutorials and demonstrations of tools. Please visit our web site: http://www.hdfeos.org and take a look at past year's workshops.

Suggestions for topics that you'd like to see on the agenda can also be contributed and are welcomed.

Our theme this year is:

Moving Forward with HDF - New Missions, New Opportunities, a New Generation of Users

Bring us your ideas, needs, successes, and challenges.

We will have a poster area. Presenters have the option of bringing a poster and giving a 5 minute 'express' talk or giving a longer talk.
