Dear Colleagues,<br><br>
<br>
The International GNSS Service Central Bureau (IGS CB) is happy to
announce the open-source release of the <b>IGS Site Log Manager</b> ! The
source code is available at <a href="https://github.com/International-GNSS-Service/SLM" target="_blank">https://github.com/International-GNSS-Service/SLM</a>,
and its full documentation and installation guide are available at <a href="https://igs-slm.readthedocs.io" target="_blank">https://igs-slm.readthedocs.io</a>.<br><br>
The IGS Site Log Manager (SLM) is a web-based framework for managing GNSS
ground station metadata, maintained by the IGS, and freely licensed
for general use under the MIT License. The IGS CB has been using the
SLM for the successful operation of the IGS Network for several
years now (see, <i>e.g.</i>, <a href="https://network.igs.org" target="_blank">https://network.igs.org</a>
and <a href="https://slm.igs.org" target="_blank">https://slm.igs.org</a>).<br><br>
With this open-source release, we encourage you all to utilise the
IGS SLM for managing your own GNSS networks ! Please feel free to
explore the software, provide your feedback, and contribute your
developments directly via the GitHub repository (<a href="https://github.com/International-GNSS-Service/SLM" target="_blank">https://github.com/International-GNSS-Service/SLM</a>).
As the IGS SLM is intended to be for and by the community, the IGS
CB is actively monitoring the repository for activity and will
consider all developments for potential inclusion in the main
software.<br><br>
The IGS CB extends its heartfelt thanks to the entire development
and testing team for their tremendous effort in making the IGS SLM
an operational reality : the IGS CB Information Systems team for the
development efforts (Brian Kohan, Robert Khachikyan, Razmik
Khachikyan), the IGS Network Coordinator for operational use and
testing (David Maggert), and the IGS CB and colleagues for critical
feedback cycles (<i>e.g.</i>, Dave Stowers). We would also like to
thank our institutional early adopters for their trust and
suggestions.<br><br>
<br>
Looking forward to serving our community ever better,<br>
Kindest regards,<br><br>
Camille Martire, on behalf of the International GNSS Service Central
Bureau.<br>
<br>
