For many in the Unidata community -- including Unidata Program Center staff -- the annual American Meteorological Society meeting is a whirlwind event that leaves attendees sorting through new ideas for quite some time after the conference itself has ended. We were gratified that so many community members stopped by Unidata's booth in the exhibit hall to catch up on the latest developments or just talk. But rather than try to touch on everything that happened, here we present some recollections of the meeting from UPC staff members who attended, in no particular order.
If you're interested in the AWIPS II project and attending the American Meteorological Society meeting in New Orleans, make some time in your schedule to stop by Unidata's booth in the exhibit hall.

The booth will feature live, hands-on demonstrations of Unidata software and services, including a look at the current state of the AWIPS II environment. Come and talk with the developers about what's coming up and what you'd like to see.
