Dear ISWI Participant:
Please be reminded that this newsletter is issued twice per month for the benefit of the ISWI community. Your input is always encouraged so that ISWI can carry out its mission to help the international space weather community in terms of science and education.
And please encourage your colleagues to subscribe.
For a "status report" on ISWI, please see the previous issue (Vol. 7, Number 011). It has a presentation by Dr Nat Gopalswamy -- the current Executive Director of ISWI.

[1] Request to all persons hosting a MAGDAS magnetometer.
When writing to International Center for Space Weather Science and Education (ICSWSE) on matters of MAGDAS, kindly never use personal email addresses. Please use only this email address: cpmn[at]denji102.geo.kyushu-u.ac.jp
This ensures that valuable information goes to the entire MAGDAS group in Japan -- and not just to one or two persons. We have lots of problems when you fail to use the above email address. In addition, when you fail to use the above email address, you might not get a reply. Please use it for all MAGDAS-related correspondences (no exceptions).

[2] International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) Followers Forum
A LinkedIn group has been launched. Please check it out and subscribe: https://www.linkedin.com/grp/home?gid=4751504
SWI is a program of international cooperation to advance the space weather science by a combination of instrument deployment, analysis and interpretation of space weather data from the deployed instruments in conjunction with space data, and communicate the results to the public and students. ISWI is a follow-up activity to the successful IHY 2007, but focusing exclusively on space weather.
The goal of the ISWI is to develop the scientific insight necessary to understand the science, and to reconstruct and forecast near-Earth space weather. This includes instrumentation, data analysis, modeling, education, training, and public outreach.

[3] Space Weather Users Workshop
This one-day workshop will provide an opportunity to hear from expert speakers, owners and operators of susceptible technological systems, and other users of space weather services.
The workshop will also provide the opportunity to tour the Australian Space Forecast Centre, learn more about the Bureau's space weather services, and to provide feedback on existing and future services.

Space weather impacts a variety of technological systems and infrastructure that are essential for our daily activities including:
Some subsidised accommodation will be available for those travelling from outside the Sydney area. Further information on accommodation and travel will be provided in the near future.
