From June 20th to June 24th 2016, Unidata Staff members Ryan May and Sean Arms led a Python Training workshop in Madison, Wisconsin. Within this four-day stretch, two Python training classes were held, each one two full days; the workshop content was based on Unidata's 3-day Annual Python Training Workshop, but tailored to the specific needs of the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) and the Atmospheric and Oceanic Science (AOS) department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. This was the fourth Python workshop Unidata staff have led, but the first held outside of the Unidata Program Center (UPC), located at UCAR's Foothills Lab in Boulder, Colorado.
A workshop on The Rescue of Data At Risk will be held in Boulder, Colorado, on 8-9 September 2016, in association with International Data Week, taking place the following week in Denver.
The workshop is being organized by the joint CODATA Task Group for Data At Risk and the RDA Interest Group for Data Rescue, and is being hosted by NCAR.
Registration is now open for Unidata's 2016 Software Training Workshop. The workshop features an exploration of Python in the context of Unidata technologies, courses on Unidata's display and analysis packages IDV and AWIPS-II (with GEMPAK), as well as courses on data access and management tools including the Local Data Manager (LDM) and the THREDDS Data Server (TDS).
The workshop will be held October 17 – November 1, 2016. Individual courses last from one to three days.
The 2015 Unidata Users Workshop took place June 22-25 at UCAR's Center Green facility in Boulder, Colorado. The workshop's theme — Data-Driven Geoscience: Applications, Opportunities, Trends, and Challenges — drew participants from across the atmospheric and other geosciences communities. Attendees took part in a series of presentations and hands-on exercises that explored how trends in cloud computing and Python-based workflows affect how scientists interact with and manage ever-growing data volumes.
Eighteen presenters from the Unidata community shared their insights on incorporating new technologies into scientific workflows across the geosciences. Sessions investigated topics ranging from using python tools to access remote datasets and adding cloud computing resources to data-intensive processes to building literacy in scientific computing and preserving data resources and citations. In many cases, presenters encouraged other participants to follow along with hands-on examples and exercises.

The workshop features Unidata's display and analysis packages IDV and AWIPS-II (with GEMPAK), as well as data access and management tools including the Local Data Manager (LDM) and the THREDDS Data Server (TDS). This year's workshop will also include a session on using the Python programming language with Unidata technologies.
The workshop will be held July 20 – August 5, 2015. Individual courses last from one to three days.
Workshop registration is open until June 15, 2015. Note that while we can no longer guarantee that lodging at the workshop hotel will be available, if you wish to attend and need lodging in Boulder you can contact the Workshop Coordinator to discuss options.
The workshop will be held June 22-25 in Boulder, Colorado. The Unidata Users Committee invites you to join other community members, distinguished presenters from academia and industry, and Unidata staff to raise awareness of important new trends in geoscience technology, including cloud computing, data management, and the place of the Python language in geoscience computing infrastructure. The workshop is a chance for the academic community and share hands-on activities, course materials, and ideas for improving research and education.
Workshop Update: We have received confirmation from the NSF that this year's workshop will take place as planned. If you were waiting to register, now is the time!

During the weekend of April 10-12 2015, the University of South Florida (USF) was host to a Unidata Regional Workshop on the use of Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer (IDV), the open source Repository for Archiving, Managing, and Accessing Diverse Data (RAMADDA), and the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS II). The workshop was organized by Dr. Jennifer Collins, with assistance from her students Randall Hergert, Heather Key and Leilani Paxton, in collaboration with Unidata Program Center staff members Tom Yoksas, Yuan Ho, and Michael James. The workshop was sponsored by USF, Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) and the West Central Florida Chapter of the American Meteorological Society.
