At minimum, you can passively receive email updates when new revisions are released by signing up for the ASPRS Newsletter by contacting office@asprs.org or las@asprs.org.

If you'd like to actively contribute or receive more frequent updates, you must first sign up for a GitHub account, or become a full member of ASPRS to participate in the LWG ASPRS Community Discussions.

Once you have an account, you can Watch this repository to subscribe to email updates whenever the specification changes. That way you can anticipate changes that might break your favorite point cloud software, or find out about new features that could enrich your LAS product line.

Get on the Issues page and participate in the conversation while letting the LWG do the hard work of making the actual edits to the source code. Browse through and comment on existing topics, click Milestones to see what changes are coming in the next revisions, or create your own new issues.

Any contributions are more than welcome! Please check the closed issues for your issue before creating a new one.

What merits a new issue? Here are a few examples:

• Fix a typo in the specification
• Request a new wiki page
• Clarify an ambiguity
• Clarify how something applies to your application
• Request new fields
• Submit a VLR or ExtraByte definition

We need you! You can request to join the LWG ASPRS Community to receive regular updates and an invitation to our regular meetings.

Get a stronger voice and help edit the specification itself by joining the ASPRS LAS Working Group team on GitHub! This group has the authority to review edits, directly modify the specification, and approve changes. Request to join ASPRSorg by contacting las@asprs.org.
