Is there a November meeting?
Yes there is @RichardScottOZ! The next meeting will be Friday, November 19th at 1pm AEDT. Agenda will posted earlier that week - suggestions very welcome! 
Note that we will not be holding a meeting in December due to the holiday season, so the November meeting will be the final meeting of 2021.
Thanks! Kirill has been doing some cool things with odc-stac - should talk about that at some stage?
Thanks @RichardScottOZ that sounds like a great idea! I’ll contact Kirill and see if he wants to talk at the November meeting!

Talk by Damien Irving (CSIRO): PyAOS Survey Results
Background: The Python for Atmosphere and Ocean Science (PyAOS) website and mailing list (https://pyaos.github.io) was established almost a decade ago to provide information and resources to the user community. In order to keep the site up-to-date, the first ever PyAOS census was conducted earlier this year. This presentation will summarise the results of the census, which give a detailed overview of how Python is being used by those working and studying in the weather, ocean and climate sciences.
Next meeting: January 21, 2022 with tentative speaker Kirill on odc-stac!

Talk by Kirill Kouzoubov @kirill.kzb (Australian-based Software Engineer at Element 84): Introduction to the odc-stac Python package
Background: odc-stac is a new Python package for accessing raster data from STAC catalogs. It is developed under the Open Datacube organization and is based on the datacube python library. Unlike datacube, odc-stac does not require a database for raster metadata storage, making it much easier to get started. Users can connect to publicly available STAC catalogs of open access data like Sentinel-2, Landsat or Digital Earth Australia data products. In this presentation I will walk through some sample notebooks for accessing publicly available STAC catalogs.
Thank you to everyone who attended, and of course to Paige for organizing and reminding me about it at just the right time.
I have put all the presentation files in to this gist. This includes conda python environment if you want to try it out locally.
Rendered version of the sample notebook is in odc-stac documentation:
Though it’s slightly different as it fetches from AWS and from Azure. Click on the launch binder button in the docs to play around without installing all the dependencies.
After Kirill’s great talk I thought an interesting future talk on a similar theme might be something from @RichardScottOZ on stackstac? @paigem is this a good place to suggest talk topics? @RichardScottOZ is it something you’d be interested in giving?
Absolutely, great suggestion @benjaminleighton!
I was already in touch in touch with @RichardScottOZ about presenting at our next meeting. How does stackstac fit into what you were thinking for next week @RichardScottOZ?
Our next Pangeo Oceania meeting is tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 18th at the usual 1pm Australian Eastern Time.
No guest talk this week, but instead we hope everyone will share the name of a package, a function, or any other sort of software tool or resource that has been particularly useful to them in their workflows! This will be an informal discussion so we can all learn from one another. 
Monthly meeting today at 1pm AEDT!
We will watch a recorded presentation and have a discussion about Pangeo Forge: an open source framework for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of scientific data.
With the coming holiday our April Pangeo Oceania meeting is sadly cancelled. The next Pangeo Oceania meeting will be Friday, May 20th at the usual 1pm Australian Eastern Time. There will be more details on the May presentation coming soon.
In the meantime here are a few things we all might do to make the most of the coming meetings.
See you all soon
Apologies, due to some last minute unexpected pandemic challenges we’re cancelling today’s virtual meet-up. We do have a speaker lined up for next month and we’ll be back on June 17th.

Stay well and see you all in June,
Happy June!
I’m not sure we have a talk for today but we will meet at 1pm AEST. Bring some cool new Pangeo-related tidbit and / or propose some great talks for next meeting!
