About our Monthly Status Meeting

Our team will hold a monthly online meeting. The purpose of these meetings varies; some will follow a specific agenda, while others will serve as an open forum for planning and collaborative work for the upcoming month.

All team members and interested parties are welcome to attend. Please feel free to invite others who may benefit from joining.

Please note that meetings may be recorded and subsequently posted on our YouTube channel for transparency and those unable to attend live.

Correction: I got the date wrong - meeting is on Wednesday and that is the 21. of May

What will be discussed this time:

Planning the Field Trip Week

14 have signed up as interested in the Field Trip Week for September. This Monthly Status Meeting is a good time you YOU all to join in and help us with the planning.

We to plan to meet and assemble the equipment that we want to carry up to the mountain tops.

We do plan to give some guided tours to locations where there have been interesting sightings.

We also plan to meet some local people and get their stories and experiences.

We had a meeting with Scott Deschaine, you can read about his work here:

He may join us during the Field Trip Week - so if you want to meet him - join us in September ;-)

What is that status for:

The Blue Box project

We still transfer stacked images every day to a google folder and the pictures we capture are discussed on discord. Thank you for everyone that participate in the discussion!

The Blue Box do need a better internet connection - it is old, unstable and we need to upgrade it.
Join the meeting for more details.

We also need to move all the videos out of the box - but we do not have enough data on our internet subscription - so we should have a big hard-disk.

Other projects

The projects page have been updated - now even some Proposal for Bachelor's Thesis 

You may also read about the OpenADS initiative - that will be “launched” soon.
