Task Force (TF) Goals

The goals of the task force are to:

  • Suggest software to be developed in support of TVS science, and outlining a mechanism for members to propose software for development
  • Review currently available software
  • Review the TVS Science Roadmap to identify needed software packages
  • Define and document software for development and the package requirements
  • Select software to be developed as directable software development by international contributors
  • Design a mechanism to validate software performance
  • Lower the barrier to entry for use of the software by TVS members

Resources & Workshops

The Software Task Force has conducted several workshops to support the community. This includes a series of four Intermediate Python (Interpython) workshops and a one-day offline workshop at LSST@Europe 7. In-kind software contributions have also stemmed from the efforts of the Software Task Force through the separate 4 Software Workshops.
