Hello, The first of December, has arrived, so do remember from now on to start any new discussions and questions at https://github.com/cf-convention/discuss/issues - thank you.
Remember also to "Watch" [1] the two repositories https://github.com/cf-convention/discuss (for general discussion and standard names) and https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions (for proposed changes to the conventions) so that you receive all posts from the CF community. Note that whilst no new posts to cf-metadata@cgd.ucar.edu will be allowed, any discussions that had previously been started there will be allowed to continue on the list. All the best, David [1] By going to the "Watch" pull-down menu on those sites, and selecting "Watching" On Mon, 25 Nov 2019 at 13:44, David Hassell <david.hass...@ncas.ac.uk> wrote: > Hello, > > Just a reminder to start "Watching" [1] the two GitHub repositories > https://github.com/cf-convention/discuss (for general discussion and > standard names) and https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions (for > proposed changes to the conventions) before *1st December 2020*. > > After this date it will be impossible to start a new discussion other than > through the issue trackers on these sites. > > All the best, > David > > [1] By going to the "Watch" pull-down menu on those sites, and selecting > "Watching" > > > > On Wed, 6 Nov 2019 at 21:47, David Hassell <david.hass...@ncas.ac.uk> > wrote: > >> Dear CF community, >> >> The time has come to move away from the CF-metadata mailing list [1], in >> favour of using GitHub issues at >> https://github.com/cf-convention/discuss/issues.
