Discuss use of Figshare or Zenodo for CF Workshop presentations/posters

  • Repository used should provide persistence and a DOI.

Discuss suggestion on rotating CF Workshops every nine months

• If alternating in-person and virtual, this would keep in-person under 24-months apart
• Higher frequency might be difficult to plan. Could depend on funding for meetings.
• DECISION: Discuss at workshop

Discuss the “When three weeks have passed with no contributions …” rule and clarifying that messages of agreement don’t extend the 3-week period.

• DECISION: Should be something like “no further concerns raised” (all agreed)
• ACTION: Create issue and PR

Discuss ways to encourage engagement on issues that elicit little response due to difficulty/complexity.

• Hard to build momentum
• Hard without funding
• Maybe regular (quarterly?) meetings to review, encourage action, make decisions
  • Issue triage
  • Hackathon meetings (Could this contribute to higher frequency of workshops?)
  • DECISION: Discuss having regular meetings at CF Workshop.
  • ACTION: Fanny and Bryan will ask CMIP IPO about helping organize regular meetings
  • ACTION: Ethan will bring up as agenda topic for CF Workshop

Discuss opening standard names process to non-CEDA folks

• Could CEDA Editor permissions be connected to GH?
• Process (CEDA Editor) is now accessible to approved people outside CEDA.
• ACTION: Bryan and Jonathan ask CEDA about CF standard names process

AOB

• AGU session on CF and netCDF proposed
