Project Update
It has been a while, so I thought I’d update everyone on a few components of the Citizen Sky Project.
The website continues to grow with more and more content and features being added. Very shortly you will be able to submit and view your own data via the Citizen Sky website (under the “Data” menu.) After that our wonderful web developer, Kate, will start to work on activating the team section of the site. Go read the overview if you haven’t heard about the Citizen Sky Team concept!Read more

Thoughts after the workshop...
Hello All,
Well, we've had some time to settle back into life after the 2nd Citizen Sky Workshop in San Francisco. I still have some left over "warm fuzzies" from our time there. Our venue, the California Academy of Sciences, was gorgeous and the staff there were very helpful and friendly. We had a wonderful group of attendees and speakers. I am very excited that everything was caught on video and look forward to posting those on the website soon. I have already started to post the speakers' presentation files (ppt/pdf) so that you can follow along with the slides as you watch the videos once they are posted. Read more
