[Difx-users] Difx-users Digest, Vol 96, Issue 1 {External}

[John Barrett]

Hi  Adam,

Likewise, we here at Haystack would be interested if there is a remote 
participation option for the DiFX meeting. Travel funding is 
particularly tight at the moment (limited to essential travel only, no 
conferences), so we will not be able to participate in-person regardless 
of location. Unfortunately, it appears unlikely this situation will 
change in the near future.

Best,

John
