Introduction

Mention LINCC session at PCW
Another undisputed highlight of October for me was the live-streamed summit tour presented by Daniel Philip Weatherill. Dan has provided a link to that below, along with a small subset of the many photos he has been sharing with colleagues during his time on the summit.
This month also saw the start of a regular seminar series from the LSST Interdisciplinary Network for Collaboration and Computing (LINCC). LINCC is funded by the LSST Corporation and will be running a range of activities over the next few years to support preparation for LSST science - particularly as regards training and analysis software development. Raphael Shirley wrote a brief report on his attendance of the LINCC-sponsored “From Data to Software to Science” workshop in the April Newsletter, and the LINCC have now launched their Tech Talks series, which will take place every second Thursday of the month at 10am Pacific Time. Details of future talks can be found by following the announcement post in the Community forum.
Those with ideas for future newsletter items should contact the LSST:UK Project Managers (George Beckett and Terry Sloanlusc_pm@mlist.is.ed.ac.uk), while everyone is encouraged to subscribe to the Rubin Observatory Digest for more general news from the US observatory team.
