Hi Steve, Thanks for those introducing those topics. I've added them to our list of topics and made note of Chris, David, and Roy's comments.
I will get our list of possible agenda topics and a rough schedule up on the meeting page [1] today or tomorrow that we will update as the agenda solidifies. Cheers, Ethan [1] http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/events/2016CFWorkshop/ On Mon, Mar 28, 2016 at 10:25 AM, Steve Hankin <[email protected]> wrote: > Ethan, > > Two more topics to consider as additions to your list: > > 1.
