Good afternoon to all my friends here. I'm creating a community in the region where I live to start a project I've always dreamed of, which will be a project aimed at scientific dissemination and even face-to-face projects. the link to the community here is : https://asgardia.space/social/communities/1930 I will also be publishing again on my twitter page, the profile is the Astronomy Club of Sertãozinho, @astro_stz If possible, I would like to ask you to follow the page for engagement. I thank everyone.

while reading the latest ROOM magazine it came to my attention that there is no community section.. i wonder if we could make such a magazine for the community from the community about the community.. at a later stage it could be partially integrated with the ROOM magazine.. what do asgardians think about this idea.. see poll below, grtz, dirk..
