It is time to add a few more events to our calendar. First of all, this Friday, we will of course be present at our university’s science night. Then, later this month there will be a colloquium in Marburg and in December we will also have a booth at the education conference in Beckum.

We have updated our events calendar with a workshop on everyday life physics at the central library of Cologne (fully booked), a physics colloquium in Leipzig and a talk in Saarbrücken.

The public beta for version 1.1.0 is available now. If you want to try the new features and give us feedback to fix any problems, please visit our forums for information on how to join the beta program.

(The beta is only available on Android as public betas are not supported on iOS. A closed beta will be offered when the iOS version is ready.)

In preparation to the start of our public beta test (tomorrow?), we have opened up the entire source code for the Android version of our app under the GNU General Public Licence. We aim to fully release the project under the GNU GPL with version 1.1.0.

After a cooling outage in our IT center, our website was unavailable from Sunday noon until Tuesday morning (CET). As you can see, it is working again. There might be a few more short hiccups as many servers at our uni were affected and the IT center is still fixing some systems, but in principle we should be back. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We just activated our new forum where you can discuss, give feedback and look for assistance. This will also be the central place to collect feedback and bug reports for the upcoming beta test of our new version.

Also, we hope that this will encourage more users to share their experience, worksheets and own experiments on this platform. We still would like those contributions to end up in the wiki eventually, but this turned out to be a hurdle for those who would just like to share an idea without polishing it into a wiki page.

So, visit our forums, set up an account and help us create a community.

As the summer break comes to an end (depending on where you live, of course), the workshop and talk season starts. So, our calendar has been updated with three upcoming events in Germany: The GDCP conference in Kiel, two consecutive teacher trainings in Saarbrücken and a talk at a teacher training at the Uni Bayreuth. More events will be added as organizers publish their schedules.

The registration for our workshop on academic teaching with phyphox (in German) on 7th September 2018 is now open. More information and the registration form can be found here.
