SKYVIEW COMMUNITY

Get Involved with SkyView

Explore. Contribute. Learn. Collaborate.

SkyView is an operational, actively developing geospatial field-research and evidence-provenance platform. We connect observations, environmental information, aviation, geographic data, photography, and other sources across location and time to make information more useful and verifiable.

You do not need to be a programmer or submit a resume just to have a conversation. Whether you want to test features, collect data, help with security, or talk technology over coffee, you are welcome.

Unpaid participation: These are currently unpaid, voluntary opportunities, not paid job openings. There is no promise of compensation, employment, equity, or a future position. Academic internship or CPE credit may be possible only with advance approval from the relevant institution or credentialing organization and an appropriate arrangement.

Where could this lead?

SkyView may eventually develop a sustainable revenue model. If it does, trusted, reliable, passionate contributors could be considered for future opportunities through separate agreements. Nothing is guaranteed, and there is no requirement to volunteer to be considered for future paid roles.

Interested?

Explore the project, consider which areas interest you, and reach out to start a conversation. Security testing must not begin without explicit written authorization and an agreed scope.
