[Cross-posted from the .Astronomy blog]
Over at .Astronomy HQ we’re excited that the registration for the 2009 workshop in Leiden is under way. However I wanted to put here a little more info on the registration process, the form and the format of the workshop – so that we can learn more about you, the participants.
The workshop will be relatively small, with the number of participants limited to 50. This will allow us to make optimal use of the excellent Lorentz Center facilities. We’ve had a lot of interest and we expect that the workshop will fill up well before the starting date – so if you’d like to join us, please don’t wait to register.
Between us, the organisers, we know lots of people who are involved in great initiatives and projects in web-based science and astronomy. Some of these people will have received invites from the Lorentz Center to register for .Astronomy but there are plenty of places left for those who weren’t invited. If you didn’t get an invitation, this doesn’t mean we don’t want you to attend. In fact, we want you to attend more. This is why we’re advertising the workshop widely via Twitter and our blogs.
The International Year of Astronomy is here, yay! Check out the website to find out about the activities taking place in 2009, and follow the links to your country’s IYA webpages to see what’s happening near you. Here’s some of the projects I like:
