There is abundant evidence that essentially all luminous hot-star
winds contain time-dependent and anisotropic structures. IAU
Colloquium 169 was convened to review the observations of
variability and asphericity, to discuss the physical processes that
might cause such behavior and to look for evolutionary
consequences. The topics included OBA stars, Be stars, Wolf-Rayet
stars, Be stars, and luminous blue variables (LBVs). The role
played by rotation in shaping the stellar wind was a recurrent
theme. Photospheric pulsations and/or magnetic fields are
particularly appealing mechanisms for triggering the formation of
recurrent wind structures.
