LSSTC is excited to announce the call for proposals for the second round of the LINCC Frameworks Incubator program. The application form can be found here. 
LSSTC and the LINCC Frameworks team are working to provide robust open-source software tools to support analysis of LSST data at scale, and a key part of this effort is the formation of collaborations with the LSST science community. You can find a recording of the original 2023 January 26 overview presentation about the LINCC Frameworks Incubators here.
The second round of the Incubator program, which starts in the third quarter of 2023 with a deadline for short, stage-one proposals of 2023 June 15, will provide dedicated funding and collaborations with software engineers to proposal teams who pitch compelling projects to be carried out in collaboration with the LINCC Frameworks team. Incubator projects should be aimed at solving computational challenges to develop open-source software that will enable a near-term science project using simulations and precursor data, and that serves as a starting point towards eventual LSST data analysis.
The Frameworks team will be hosting weekly virtual ‘office hours’ at 9am Pacific time on Thursdays starting on May 18 (Zoom Link). Those in the LSSTC Slack workspace can also use the public #lincc-incubator-help channel for questions about the proposal process.
For more announcements of this sort, please sign up for the LINCC mailing list.
