Good News: The National Science Foundation has confirmed that funding is available for the workshop. We encourage you to begin making travel arrangements to attend. Our thanks to NSF for continuing to support this important community workshop.
The Unidata Users Committee invites you to join Unidata staff, community members, and distinguished speakers this June in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of this year's workshop is to raise awareness of the current trends in the academic geoscience community with an emphasis on Data Proximate Analysis, Machine Learning and Data Analytics, Using GOES-16 Data, and Working with Ensemble NWP Output. Scientists and educators from the academic geoscience community will present ideas and techniques for making effective use of geoscience data and share activities, course materials, and ideas for improving education and research. There will be hands-on workshops, a poster session, and time for informal discussions with presenters and Unidata developers.

Version 4.7.4 of the netCDF Operators (NCO) has been released. NCO is an Open Source package that consists of a dozen standalone, command-line programs that take netCDF files as input, then operate (e.g., derive new data, average, print, hyperslab, manipulate metadata) and output the results to screen or files in text, binary, or netCDF formats.
Work in the overall scientific Python ecosystem to sunset Python version 2.7 is underway in earnest, so the time has come for Unidata's Python team to start planning the timeline for our own software (MetPy and Siphon) to do the same. We propose to drop support for Python 2.7 in the Fall of 2019; this means that releases of MetPy and Siphon in the Fall of 2019 will be the first that support only Python 3.
Siphon 0.7.0 has been released with a variety of new features and some bug fixes. Packages are available for Conda and the Python Package Index (PyPI). For full release notes see the GitHub Release Page.
