Introduction
UK participation in Rubin Observatory Commissioning

LSST:UK Science Working Group
Running the LSST pipeline stack
2020 Rubin Observatory Project and Community Workshop
The Covid-19 pandemic has necessitated some changes to arrangements for the up-coming Rubin Observatory Project and Community Workshop. This year’s even, which will run during 10th–14th August, will now be run entirely online and this means it is potentially easier for UK-based astronomers to participate in some or all of the sessions.
The Workshop website is now online and includes both the programme for the event and registration instructions. Each day, the programme runs during 5pm--9pm BST. While outside of the usual working day, the timing potentially gives people the option to attend those presentations/ discussions that are particularly interesting to them.
