Herschel Users' Group
Introduction
The Herschel Users' Group was set up in the spring of 2010. It is an independent advisory group directly representing the Herschel user community. The HUG will provide a forum for (potential) general users of Herschel to provide input to the operations of the observatory as an astronomical facility on various matters affecting its scientific productivity and user friendliness. The HUG directly interfaces with the Herschel Project Scientist as described in its Terms of Reference.
Membership
The HUG has been extended to its full complement of twelve people in early 2011, by adding four members drawn from the OT1 community to the original eight members. The HUG members are:

From left to right in the front row: Alberto Noriega-Crespo, Dimitra Rigopoulou, Leslie Hunt, Gordon Stacey, and Rob Kennicutt, behind them are: Axel Weiss, Gwendolyn Meeus, Paul Hartogh, Edith Falgarone, Lars Kristensen, and Margaret Meixner. Unfortunately Jean-François Lestrade is missing in the picture.
