DeepskyLog developer meeting: April 25

[deepskywim]

Dear members of Stargazerslounge,

DeepskyLog is a free web-application to keep observation logs and drawings of deep-sky objects and comets. DeepskyLog also helps you to prepare observing sessions. DeepskyLog is a large online deep-sky database containing more than 75,000 observations and more than 10,000 drawings.
We will organize a DeepskyLog developer day (location still to be decided, but certainly in Belgium) where we will discuss the plans for the future. This meeting is also a good moment to look for extra contributors.

We are looking for:

• Software developers (php, mysql)
• Testers
• Translators (to make DeepskyLog available in different languages)
• Publicity-people (writing articles, documentation, making movies, ...)
• Deep-sky specialists to clean up, check and expand the object database

I think it is clear that you don't need to be a software developer to make some contributions to DeepskyLog. If you are interested in helping, just let me know. It is possible to participate in the meeting using skype or google hangouts.

The tentative program for the meeting can be found here.

Cheers,

Wim

This could become a very interesting project to me. 

I will look at it more in detail. 

After a quick look, here are my preliminary comments: 

- Some text is in Dutch (although English is selected): see http://www.deepskylog.org/index.php?indexAction=detail_observation&observation=77907&dalm=AO 

- Atlases: would it be possible to add some annotation or at least the constellation lines?

Looking forward to following the evolution of this project.

Thanks for making this a free service
