The Roman Space Telescope mission partners are planning to start the Roman Community Forum. This will be a monthly virtual meeting that will provide updates on Roman mission status and plans, and an opportunity for the science community to engage with the Roman Project and Science Centers.
To keep up to date with the Roman Project sign up to the mailing list by sending an e-mail to roman-news-join@lists.nasa.gov. Please include a subject. It's technically not needed to join, but having it helps prevent an issue where a subscription submission could be quietly deleted.
This month's community forum will have a mission update and a discussion from the Science Operations Center on the Roman Science Platform.
First part: Roman Project updates from Jeff Kruk
Second part: Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program (CPP) co-lead Dmitry Savransky (Cornell) gave an overview of the work being done by the CPP.
Third part: the Roman Coronagraph Project Systems Engineer Ilya Poberezhskiy (JPL) gave updates about the Coronagraph (e.g., its full-functional and thermal vacuum tests and delivery to Goddard).
The three definition committees for the core community surveys held two virtual townhalls each spread over two weeks. The meetings were recorded and slides are available.

The May meeting provided updates on the progress in integration and test of the observatory.
The Roman Mission held multiple virtual Q&A and discussion sessions in late April and early May to encourage and facilitate community interaction and collaboration on white papers.
At each session there was a presentation on the community definition of Roman's Core Community Surveys.
April's community forum focussed on science pitches and the recently released white paper call.
The March forum featured an update from the Software Working Group. To join a Working Group complete the form on the signup page.
The Roman Coronagraph Instrument was the focus of February's forum. The agenda was:
