The first post

This is the first post to the SOLIS blog.  SOLIS is Sydney Outdoor Lighting Improvement Society.  I've been meaning to start this blog for a while and the current impetus is an imminent trip to Canada, Quebec for a conference on light pollution.  In fact, two conferences.  I'm missing out on two lighting events in Sydney #VividSydney (@VividSydney) and @SPARC2015 ) no hashtag for them (oops).  I'll be following these Sydney events from Canada and blogging on my two events in Canada.  The bags are packed - almost, I need to fire-up and build my new MacBook so I can stay in touch and get my University work done - a few other important things and then I'm out of here.
