*Dear Even Rouault,*
I am writing on behalf of the organising committee of the CF Conventions
workshop 2026 <https://events.ecmwf.int/event/568/>, taking place on
*21–24 September 2026* at ECMWF in Bonn, Germany (hybrid, co-hosted with
the Copernicus Climate Change Service).
One of the topics that has generated considerable interest within the CF
community is *format interoperability*, and in particular the role that
conventions such as CF can play in facilitating interoperability across
different data formats and software ecosystems. Given your long-standing
involvement with GDAL and your perspective as Chair of the GDAL Project
Steering Committee, we would be very interested in having you
participate in the workshop and contribute to these discussions.
We believe that the GDAL community has valuable experience and insights
into the practical challenges of interoperability, including what works
well today, where difficulties remain, and where conventions such as CF
and formats such as netCDF and GRIB could evolve to better support users
and software developers.
Depending on the final programme and available time, there may also be
an opportunity for you—or another GDAL contributor you would
recommend—to give a presentation on these topics. At this stage we would
be interested in having the GDAL perspective represented in the workshop
discussions.
There is no registration fee for the workshop, and registration
<https://events.ecmwf.int/event/568/registrations/440/> is now open.
Please note that we are unfortunately unable to cover speaker/attendee
travel or accommodation costs.
We would be delighted to hear whether you might be interested in
participating, and we would be happy to provide further details about
the workshop and programme.
*On behalf of the organising **committee**,*
