Connect with Rubin's Early Science Program
The Rubin Community Workshop focuses on supporting the community in engaging with LSST science, and July 2026 will be a special time for the Early Science Program. Data Preview 1 (DP1) has been released. LSSTCam has been installed. LSST alerts are streaming to brokers. The 10-year survey will officially be underway. Serving Prompt Products, and the release of Data Preview 2, will have either just happened or be on the near horizon. Come work with the entire Rubin community during this exciting and unforgettable phase!
