(Apologies for cross-posting)

Dear Group,

I have recently joined this group, and thought I should introduce myself. I
am a new member of staff at TASI, (Technical Advisory Service for Images,
http:// www.tasi.ac.uk/).

My role is to develop our understanding of the needs of the FE/HE community
with regards to digital images in order to further develop TASI's online
materials and also to promote the use of digital images in teaching and
learning.

I am taking forward the editing of current and development of further Web
content in order to meet all potential needs.  Therefore, I would welcome
your comments and suggestions on how you presently find the information. If
you would like TASI to provide specific information that would be of use to
you (and/or your community) then please email me directly off-list.

Initially you might find these links useful:

Capturing Digital Images:

as examples of the materials that TASI has produced.  A full listing of
resources aimed at people using digital images can be found at:

I look forward to hearing from you and many thanks, in advance, for taking
the time to participate.

Yours sincerely,

Chris Brock

Dear Colleagues -

SIGGRAPH 2005 - The Computer Arts: Origins and Contexts

As previously announced we are convening a Forum as a part of the
International Resources Centre at SIGGRAPH 2005 titled The Computer Arts –
Origins and Contexts. We haven’t as yet confirmed the exact time and date but
it will be held in the in the International Center in their 80-seat
auditorium and will last for approx. 90 minutes.

http://www.siggraph.org/s2005/

We are hoping that this will build upon the informal birds-of-a-feather
meeting many of us attended at SIGGRAPH 2003/4.

I'm writing to invite those of you who will be attending SIGGRAPH to
participate in this forum and, if you wish, make a short presentation about
your research projects. Please contact me if you wish to present and I'll
draw up a timetable.

Thanks Sue
