Hi NetCDF Java Folks! Thanks for you hard work on this important open source project. I am Carl Schroedl, a software developer for the US Geological Survey. We will be working on a surface water model archiving platform this summer. Our surface water model archives will be leveraging a new CF Convention on Simple Geometries to represent things like rivers and watersheds. If you would like to dig into the details on the new CF Convention, check out the specification pull request <https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/pull/115>, the attached poster, or the Simple Geometry portion of this lecture <http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Interoperability_and_Technology/Tech_Dive_Webinar_Series#10_May_2018:_.22NetCDF-CF_Advances_-_Simple_Geometries.2C_Swaths.2C_and_Groups.22:_Dave_Blodgett_.28USGS.29.2C_Tim_Whiteaker_.28UT_Austin.29.2C_Aleksander_Jelanek_.28HDF_Group.29_and_Daniel_Lee_.28EUMETSAT.29> . We would like to contribute support for this new convention to open source tools, possibly including THREDDS, and the CDM. I know from experience that projects are not always in a great position to accept contributions (large in-flight refactor branches, closely-related concurrent work, etc.). Do you foresee any problems with an influx of these types of contributions to between now and September? Do you have any advice on how our team could best contribute support for this convention to THREDDS, the CDM, or related projects? Thanks again for your work on these important open source efforts. Wishing you all the best, -- *Carl Schroedl *| Computer Scientist | USGS | Water Mission Area | Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division | Modeling Support and Coordination Branch | 8505 Research Way | Middleton, WI 53562 | 608-821-3836 | https://www.usgs.gov/science/mission-areas/water
