Dear Colleagues,

A reminder that the abstract submission deadline for ADASS XXVIII is this coming 
Sunday, 1-Jul-2018. This deadline is for oral presentations, BoFs, tutorials, 
and focus demos.


Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) Conference Series

                             11-15 November 2018
                   "The Hotel" in College Park, Maryland, USA.

The conference will be hosted by the University of Maryland Astronomy Department.

The ADASS XXVIII program will include invited talks, contributed
papers, display sessions, tutorials, computer demonstrations, and
special interest ("Birds of a Feather" or BoF) meetings, as well as a
community-based Hackathon preceding the meeting.
These activities aim to encourage communication between software
specialists and scientists, and to stimulate further development of
software and systems to meet the data science challenges of astronomy.
