Community Meeting - November 3rd at 1 PM Eastern

[abkfenris]

We got a meeting coming up this Friday. I don't have any particular topics in mind, so if anyone has some ideas it would be awesome to hear about them.

If you don't have a calendar invite, shout and we'll send one your way.

Agenda and Notes:

• GMRI and RPS (NERACOOS and MARACOOS) looking for Xpublish (XREDS) funding
  • Showed NOAA CO-OPs how Xpublish could speed up their infrastructure, currently stuck on THREDDS
  • Would be interested in working with Axiom too
• XREDS now has an OS license
  • https://github.com/asascience-open/xreds
  • Demo https://nextgen-dev.ioos.us/xreds/
  • Next phase is towards defining catalog loading behavior: https://github.com/xpublish-community/xpublish-intake-provider
• RPS has a junior developer working on WMS
  • ROMS, Regular grids,
  • FVCOM in progress
    • New updates to Xarray fixed a bunch of issues
  • SELFE, ADCIRC, SCHISM up next
• Joe's questions:
  • Does anyone know the folks maintaining this: https://github.com/MeteoSwiss/opendap-protocol
    • If they aren't managing it, should we adopt it
  • Looking for an example using a custom dataset provider with nested paths (e.g. dataset_id = "foo/bar/abc")
    • https://xpublish.readthedocs.io/en/0.3.3/getting-started/tutorial/dataset-provider-plugin.html
    • TODO: will need to re-mount a special router than can handle this
  • Do people use the zarr router for xpublish?
    • yes Axiom does
    • Joe wonders about splitting it out separate from the xpublish package
    • this is related to timing with v3 of zarr python
• Axiom is going to do all sorts of ERDDAP related things hopefully to include Xpublish backends in December
• NODD
  • Each NOAA line office has a quota, and most aren't even close to using all of it
  • It can take a lot of meetings to get the logistics for access figured out, but many offices are happy to push as much data up as possible
  • They just don't want to be paying for any compute
