<p>Dear Adam and DiFX users and developers,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>concerning the next venue: Vienna would be definitely interested to serve as a host for the next years DiFX users and developers meeting. But we completely understand the point to move to another continent for next year and leave Europe after Bologna and
Wettzell. So we would be definitely ready to host, but we are also very happy see other destinations.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Just for further information, we would attach the VieVS VLBI workshop to the DiFX gathering, which might be interesting for some people. Usually it takes place in September. This date is convenient for us, because it is not busy with students before the
university business starts in Vienna. And Vienna can be also quite a pleasant city in September.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any question.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Jakob</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,
<div><br>
<div>The DiFX gathering at Wettzell has dispersed after a very enjoyable and successful meeting over the past week. With over 30 attendees, it was one of the biggest in a long time - possibly ever. On behalf of all the attendees, I'd like to extend a very
grateful thanks to Christian, Thomas, and Torben, our intrepid organisers and hosts. It was really a fantastic venue and extremely well organised!<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There was a lot of progress during the week as people committed various updates. Towards the end of the meeting, we summarised the list of ongoing/desired DiFX development activities at <a href="https://www.atnf.csiro.au/vlbi/dokuwiki/doku.php/difx/todo/">https://www.atnf.csiro.au/vlbi/dokuwiki/doku.php/difx/todo/</a>;
DiFX users should feel free to suggest additions (or even better, to cross off completed items!) throughout the year. If you need write access to the wiki, please contact Cormac Reynolds (Corman.Reynolds@csiro.au).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There was some discussion pertinent to next year's workshop that I'd like to share here:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Do we want to focus on a particular theme? This year there was an informal focus on DiFX for geodesy, which was very productive. Some suggestions for a theme next year included high frequency VLBI (the EHT), eVLBI, or global VLBI observations. Please
add to this list, if you have ideas, or add your support to a particular idea.</div>
<div>* While it is probably a little early to lock down a specific venue, a few potential hosts were floated:</div>
<div> - Swinburne has never hosted and the meeting hasn't been to Australia for a while.</div>
<div> - Likewise, it's been while since we've been to North America: Socorro and Minneapolis could be potential sites.</div>
<div> - We didn't get to discuss this with Jakob and Andreas before they left, but perhaps TU Wien, who have been quite active DiFX users, would be interested to host?</div>
<div>* Meeting time: is everyone still happy with September/October? Is there animo to attach the meeting to the IVTW, as has been done in the past? In any case, I suggest we wait until Jan/Feb 2019 until the possible location and time of the IVTW is known
before making any firm decisions, but thoughts on the meeting date are also welcomed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please send any replies through to difx-users, and I look forward to another productive year.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Happy correlating,</div>
