I am seeking additional speakers for the session “Pangeo in Action” during the ESIP Winter Meeting next January in Bethesda, Maryland. Please contact me (jeffdlb @ucar.edu) if you are interested in participating. The session is 90 minutes, currently scheduled for Wed Jan 8 11:00-12:30.
Session abstract:
The NSF-funded Pangeo project (http://pangeo.io/) is a community-driven architectural framework for big data geoscience. A typical Pangeo software stack leverages Python open-development libraries including elements such as Jupyter Notebooks for interactive data analysis, Intake catalogs to provide a higher level of abstraction, Dask for scalable, parallelized data access, and Xarray for working with labeled multi-dimensional arrays of data, and can support data formats including NetCDF as well the cloud-optimized Zarr format for chunked, compressed, N-dimensional arrays. This session seeks presentations describing implementations, results, or lessons learned from using these tools, and invites attendance by people interested in knowing more about Pangeo.
I can’t make this meeting myself, but just wanted to add my encouragement to others to volunteer.
ESIP has been a great partner for Pangeo from the beginning. It’s a fantastic and welcoming community.
A reminder that nobody owns the right to represent or present on behalf of Pangeo. It’s a distributed, open-source project. If you’re on the fence about whether you’re “qualified” to make a presentation, just go for it! You will have the full support of the group.
There isn’t really a specific deadline; I could be adjusting the agenda until the last minute and make room for you if you show up. That being said, I was put in touch with Amanda from UW who has agreed to do a Pangeo overview talk, so although I appreciate your willingness to try to attend perhaps you can relax!
