Item 2.  Chandra Calibration Workshop  
=====================================


The Chandra Calibration Workshop (CCW) is held regularly for the dissemination 
and advancement of our understanding of the performance and capabilities of 
the Chandra X-ray Observatory. It is intended to share the Chandra teams' 
knowledge
of the detectors, gratings, mirrors, and aspect system with the community 
while
encouraging participation and feedback in the process of calibrating the 
observatory.  Abstracts are solicited on various aspects of Chandra 
calibration.

This year, we will again be holding the CCW in conjunction with a Chandra 
anniversary symposium, the Ten Years of Science with Chandra Symposium in 
Boston, Massachusetts. Calibration talks will be presented on Monday September 
21, prior to the Symposium. Calibration-related posters will be displayed 
throughout the Symposium, which runs from Tuesday, September 22 through 
Friday, September 25.
