Dear colleagues and friends,

The Sun was quite active yesterday. The latest report shows some nice plots of type II and other bursts you captured with your instruments.

Congratulations to everyone contributing data to the e-Callisto network.

Best regards,

Dear ISWI Participant:

This is right, the proceedings book of the ISWI UN/Ecuador Workshop already have been printed. We just started to distribution the book to participants and researchers involved in space weather topics. The distribute goes slowly in dependence of local funds. The Ecuadorian post service is too expensive. However, we expect to find the right way to rise the neccesary resource to cover the payment for the international delivery of the books.

Dear George,

Greetings from Vienna.

It would be helpful if you could announce the availability of the printed Proceedings of the 2012 UN/Ecuador Workshop on ISWI. This was the 20th workshop of the UN BSSI:

The ISWI Newsletter Vol. 5, No. 125, 2013 refers to the special edition of "Sun and Geosphere Vol. 9, No. 1 and No. 2, 2014" dedicated to the UN/Ecuador workshop.

We all are looking forward to receive the Proceedings. Following past practice I will make efforts to draw international attention to this publication. Professor E. Lopez and staff of the Astronomical Observatory of Quito made the workshop unforgettable for all those who participated in the workshop.

What a beautiful Astronomical Observatory!

Best regards,
Hans
