  <h1>{{ site.title }}</h1>
  <p>The TOM Toolkit project was started in early 2018 with the goal of simplifying the development of next generation
    software for the rapidly evolving field of astronomy. Read more <a href="/about">about TOMs</a> and the motivation for them.</p>
  <p>Are you looking to run a TOM of your own? The <a href="/docs">documentation</a> is a good place to get started. The source code for the project is also available on Github.</p>

  <h1>Workshop: Managing Follow-up Observations in the Era of ZTF</h1>
  <p>LSST Corporation and Las Cumbres Observatory will be hosting a workshop from September 30 to October 4, 2019, with a strong focus on interactive TOM Toolkit development and instruction. The workshop will culminate in a call for proposals that will be awarded with mini-grants and telescope time on LCO's global telescope network. If you have an interest in developing a TOM for your science case, you can apply, get more information, or subscribe to the mailing list on the <a href="https://lco.global/workshops/tom-toolkit-community-workshop/">workshop homepage.</a></p>
