Forum for Community Discussion

Thursday, November 19, 2015

 

Rubin Observatory invites the astronomy community to join us at https://community.lsst.org. The Community forum is an open platform for learning about Rubin Observatory, asking questions, and participating in Rubin Observatory's development.  This discussion forum is supported by the Science Quality and Reliability Engineering (SQuaRE) team within DM.  

We started the Community forum as a tool to help Rubin Observatory's Data Management team collaborate (https://community.lsst.org/c/dm). As a team that spans the country, if not the globe, we've enjoyed having a platform for conversations that don't get lost in email inboxes. The Simulations and Camera teams have a presence on the forum as well. By following the Community forum you can get an insider's perspective on Rubin Observatory's development.

Most importantly, is a commons for conversations between the Rubin Observatory team and the community. Our Support category is a great place to ask questions about how to use Rubin Observatory's software and data. It's easy to quickly create an account and ask a question. By creating an account, the forum can even email you an activity digest that makes it easy to keep up with Rubin Observatory. 

The Community forum is powered by Discourse, from the same people that brought you StackExchange.

Those seeking technical discussions with the DM team and support for community-based solutions for Rubin Observatory software issues are encouraged to participate in the Rubin Observatory Community Forum found at community.lsst.org.  We hope to see you on https://community.lsst.org soon; it’s Hip to be with SQuaRE!

Financial support for Rubin Observatory comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Agreement No. 1258333, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded Rubin Observatory Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA).  The DOE-funded effort to build the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
