It has been a busy past month, with the LOFAR Family Meeting (LFM2024) in the week of June 3rd, and the inauguration of the new LOFAR-ERIC on June 10th. There were lots of interesting talks at these meetings. I gave an introduction to EuroFlash during LFM2024
as well as a general introduction to LOFAR during the ERIC inauguration, which was attended by about 60 international visitors from the LOFAR partner countries. Caterina gave a very nice talk about PURR during the LFM2024 and Ziggy gave a very nice talk introducing
fast transients at low radio frequencies.<br>

As many of you already know, the process of allocating the LOFAR2.0 Large Programmes is delayed, but it is progressing under the leadership of a.i. LOFAR Director Wim van Cappellen. I think we'll have a clearer view of the exact timeline after the summer.</div>

Commissioning of LOFAR2.0 continues to ramp up and will be in full swing after the summer. As Caterina said in her update to the PURR team: If you want to contribute to any of the three currently identified commissioning areas (telescope, pipelines, operations),
you can sign-up here: <a href="https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVKWueITA=/" id="OWA6f5e196a-8899-0ea5-feb3-8f8f10459e12" class="OWAAutoLink" style="text-align: left;" shash="G46JPZ5Tv+WVhKexq78lopiqNC9J6uSObness4z7LZYY70wvquLQopzNtNob7tFJc9FMlHTBvEYSRvgGmnJqubVPEbQ939CnsMtRVD+bEiExmb/zTrLHgvFlsilBNuhU8h3i5lWvX/PayJ3CTJw5SuKTsojIvO4og7leo4bOMLY=" originalsrc="https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVKWueITA=/">
