[Adass-announce] Help choose Key Themes for ADASS 2018

[Nuria P. F. Lorente]

Dear colleagues,

Preparations are underway for ADASS XXVIII, to be held in College Park, MD, USA 
on 11-15 November 2018.

As in previous years, we would like to invite the ADASS community to participate 
in choosing the Key Themes for this year's conference, to help steer the meeting 
towards the topics that you see as timely and would like to discuss.
I attach a list of ADASS key themes from 1998 - 2017, if you are interested in 
knowing what themes we've covered in the past 20 years.

We have set up the Apgree ADASS channel to take your theme suggestions, and also 
to allow you to vote on proposed themes. You will find the question for this 
year's themes at:
https://app.appgree.com/app/topic/927227906403405825/2738972766555344897.html

If you've not already done so, you'll need to register with Apgree, after which 
you'll be able to vote and propose themes. Follow the ADASS channel by clicking 
on the star in the top-right of the page; then answer the question (i.e. propose 
a theme) and/or vote.

The ADASS Apgree channel will also give you access to past questions (what 
people proposed and how many votes they received), as well as the current 
question relating to ADASS XXVIII. Once you have registered you can download the 
Appgree app to your phone/tablet, if you prefer that to web access.

We look forward to your participation. 51 people took part last year, and we 
would like to see this number grow, to help the conference better reflect the 
current interests of the community.

The poll will close at the end of the day (CET) next Monday, 12-Mar-2018.
Kind regards,

Nuria Lorente
on behalf of the ADASS POC
