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!
