Update on 2024 CF Workshop planning (It is just over a week away, 17-20 Sept.)

Does CF need a location/mechanism for publishing CF profiles, e.g., Swath (Issue #269)

• Swath, ACDD, CFA
  • Not a profile if can’t read as CF without extra information
    • CFA looks like CF but doesn’t contain data, software would fail
• Some mechanism that supports profiles from the CF community
• More support than WMO profile, less than UGRID
• Space on web site to publish, PR, etc. - minimal CF governance, some review
• Decision: ???

Localization (#528) defines attribute name suffixes (Requires parsing of attribute names)

• This is probably a discussion for the conventions committee rather than for the gov panel. Has it already been discussed there?
• Will be discussed at workshop

CF Logo

• CF Discussion asking for logo ideas
• Opportunity to engage the community

Engage with communities by answer questions on non-CF forums

• Point to training materials, more training materials
• If see questions, refer to them on CF issue, ask for volunteers to answer
• Responsive to standard names requests.
  • CMIP7 proposals happening now
