Welcome!
Welcome to the CSTART blog!
This blog will be used as CSTART’s main outlet for news and other important information about the activities of the CSTART organization and progress on our various projects (but don’t forget about our Twitter feed or Facebook page as well!). Anybody can propose ideas for blog posts or even write entire candidate posts in the appropriate section of our forums. Posts which earn the general approval of the community and meet a few basic suitability criteria will be published to the blog by an administrator.
Less than two months after our spontaneous birth on Reddit, CSTART has expanded and clarified its goals and principles, establishing a strong sense of purpose and identity, with finalised versions of our Mission Statement, Social Contract and Design Philosophy now published to the Wiki. We are now seeking to expand both awareness of CSTART and our active membership so that we can work faster and with more competence toward our goals. To this end, we have initiated contact with a number of other groups engaged in space exploration or research under an open source philosophy, as part of our Friends of CSTART program, and are waiting to hear back from them. Our preparation toward incorporating so that we can obtain tax exemption status is also continuing – you can follow the discussion on this topic in our forums.
Stay tuned!
