If anyone is interested in the extension of openLangley beyond the confines of this blog, check it out on Facebook. If you’re already on Facebook, you know how to get there. If you’re not, you can join for free at http://www.facebook.com/. I’ve posted nothing at the site yet, having just opened it tonight, and it’s open to all for comment, uploading photos/video, posting links, connecting to other NASA groups like colab, inviting friends, and doing all of the many other Facebook things. Here’s a link to try.

This article is wonderful exposure for Langley and exactly what we need to increase our visibility in Northern Virginia. Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia are two major technology corridors, yet we aren’t that connected. Although our General Assembly Day was geared toward raising awareness with elected officials, having guests from NVTC was an extra bonus.

Welcome to openLangley, an experiment in online conversation.
openLangley is an evolving forum for connecting, communicating and collaborating with people who work at NASA Langley Research Center, as well as with others who are interested in NASA and LaRC. It’s about sharing constructive, visionary and bold dialogue about the Center, the agency, the aerospace industry. It’s a place for exchanging ideas, thoughts, observations, successes – and even things that didn’t work out so well.
