Huib van Langevelde reports on Radionet news, including the next FP7 radionet proposal.
The 6 month extension has been introduced to the ALBiUS partner institutes.

Each institute reports on the current status of the ALBiUS work, with particular regard to the deliverables.

Astron: Wavelengths in description. work done in CASA imaging.

ESO: work on IDI FITs. Next release of CASA will include ALMA beam in A-projection. Testing has started. A list of other applications has been mentioned, including WSRT.

MPI: Difx implementation tested against OH interference and APERITIF dataset.

NRAO: Progress on ALBiUS fring fitting.
Regarding A-projection, work on beam model perturbation, which is crucial for ALMA.

UOXF: Testing eigenvalue decomposition. Possible interaction on data excision with Bourke or Beswich (on e-Merlin). UOXF may be underspending.

UMAN: Trying to work with MERLIN data. Express interest in fringe fitting.

UBORD: simulate group and phase delay. Work in collaboration with JPL.

JIVE: Promising work on fringe fitting has started in collaboration with NRAO. Work on interoperability and parseltongue are complete.
