 +==== Summary ====
 +
 +On May 18 and 19, 20009, ASTRON hosted a LOFAR Technical Status  
 +meeting in Dwingeloo. This meeting brought together technical  
 +working groups from all the Key Science Projects as well as many of  
 +the international partner consortia.  With the first Dutch and  
 +international LOFAR stations now in the field and more on the way,  
 +LOFAR is preparing to move into a new phase of its construction. This  
 +next phase will include an intense period of technical commissioning  
 +and scientific validation ramping up to actual science observations  
 +early in 2010. This commissioning period is expected to kick-off in  
 +the fall of 2009 with its first major activity, an initial shallow all- 
 +sky survey to populate the global sky model (GSM) required for LOFAR's  
 +calibration.
 +
 +Following this initial GSM survey, the Radio Observatory at ASTRON  
 +plans to solicit proposals for commissioning projects from the various  
 +LOFAR Key Science Projects and international partners. This meeting was  
 +intended to assist the various KSP groups in the preparation of  
 +commissioning proposals in response to this announcement of  
 +opportunity. Over the course of the two days, members of the LOFAR  
 +project reviewed the observational capabilities of the system  
 +expected to be in place by the start of the GSM.  Each of the KSPs  
 +also summarized their specific commissioning plans as well. These  
 +discussions will be used as valuable input to the integrated  
 +commissioning activities that LOFAR will execute over the coming term  
 +leading to a fully functional Observatory and the first science  
 +results early next year.
