As of Friday, I just started a slack community for people freelancing in astronomy. Could be other industries as well, but for now, I’m sticking with what I now. I hoping it’ll be a community of contractors to support getting people going in this route and support people throughout their careers.
I call the community Astrolancers and you can join it (for the next 27d via this invite) at: https://join.slack.com/t/astrolancers/shared_invite/zt-2qnq7qrno-l~d~0jyGqrr0dNiXerxvVQ
Hopefully it’ll be a good community and keep this method of working in astronomy growing!
