## Breakout group: Hacking on and around Xarray

@dcherian, @TomNicholas, and myself are planning to hack on and around Xarray. Some specific areas we may focus on are:

- Xarray + Dask problems and tutorial material ([Intermediate Xarray+Dask tutorial · pydata/xarray · Discussion #6945 · GitHub](https://github.com/pydata/xarray/discussions/6945))
- Distributed array discussions (see also [New Working Group for Distributed Array Computing](https://discourse.pangeo.io/t/new-working-group-for-distributed-array-computing/2734/1))
- Xarray + Datatree (see [https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/7418](https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/7418))
- Xarray + Flexible Indexes ([Explicit Indexes · GitHub](https://github.com/pydata/xarray/projects/1))
- Xarray + Zarr V3 (performance improvement and spec evolution)

We’re also hoping to help newer users / developers of Xarray get going so bring your own issue / project and we will try to help you get rolling.

**Durration:** Morning and afternoon sessions, attend either or both

**Pre-requites:** Excitement about Xarray, Dask, and/or Zarr.
