The 2020 CF Workshop took place virtually on 9-11 June 2020. The meeting ran for 3 hours on each day, 16:00 to 19:00 UTC, and was followed by a short purely social time for those who could and wanted to stay on. There was a high level of interest from the CF community, with 132 people registering from 15 countries (mainly from the Americas and Europe), and 65 to 90 people attending each day.
The workshop had three main themes: goverance, tools, and current enhancement proposals.
The goverance sesssions (3.5 hours) covered standard names, recent changes to goverance procedures and the CF committees, the use of GitHub as the primary repository for CF and a review of recent and upcoming changes to the conventions.
The tools session (1 hour) comprised demonstrations of three generic tools that could be useful to the CF community - two CF checkers and a reference implementation of the CF data model. This was a new addition to recent annual meetings, and one that will surely be repeated.
The current enhancement proposals sessions (3.75 hours) were devoted to eight breakout discussions, with four occuring in parallel on each of two days. Seven of the sessions focussed on furthering the progress of an open enhancement proposals in the GithUb issue tracker, with the other session devoted to a general discussion on standard names.
The meeting finished with an overview (0.75 hours) of the topics covered, and highlighing points raised during the workshop. Actions resulting from this meeting are tracked in a dedicated board.
