5 Year Event and Future Outreach Activities

P.Brekke presented the plans for the 5-year event, including the shipping status of the PR kits. For an overview of events, look at http://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/5year/ and http://spdext.estec.esa.nl/content/doc/9e/27038_.htm (with pictures).

We will need to look into the processing of real-time images. Several times lately we have had no updated images of large events (CNN now expects us to have them, and have called to ask when they are missing).

The web traffic has set a new monthly record (8.3 million requests in April), very much helped by a burst of solar activity. At some points in time, web traffic was limited by the physical capacity (with poor connectivity to the outside from EOF/EAF users).

Ideas for public relations events, Hot Shots, etc are most welcome.
