Developers of Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) traveled to the University of Wisconsin, Madison's Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) in late November to meet with developers of SSEC's Man-computer Interactive Data Access System Fifth Generation (McIDAS-V) package. Discussion during the meeting focused on ways the two teams can collaborate more closely and avoid duplicating development effort.
The UCAR Research Applications Laboratory (RAL) has released Nujan version 1.4.1. Nujan is a pure Java writer for HDF5 and NetCDF4 files. Nujan is 100% open source and is released under the MIT license. Nujan is intended to be useful in situations where portability and a simplified development process are more important than access to the complete HDF5 feature set.
As part of Unidata's ongoing commitment to community driven software, and to make collaborative development easier and more transparent, we have moved the THREDDS and NetCDF-Java/Common Data Model (CDM) source repository to the GitHub "social coding" site. See the full article for details.
