Title: Kealahou: The Future of CFHT's User-Facing QSO System

Presenter: Cam Wipper

Abstract:

Since 2016, CFHT has been building out the capabilities of Kealahou, our user-facing queued service observing system. From it's beginnings as a platform for SPIRou QSO operations, Kealahou has grown to host CFHT's main instrument suite (SPIRou, MegaCam, and ESPaDOnS), as well as our Proposal Submission and Review System, K1, and our user and program management repositories. Over the next few years, Kealahou will gain additional capabilities, including Rapid Target of Opportunity (rToO) and support for API-based observation programming from third-party networks, like AEON. However, we also want to hear from you! As the users of CFHT and Kealahou, we would like to find out what's working, what's not, and what you'd like to see in Kealahou. Help us shape the future of QSO at CFHT!
