Hello,
The first of December, has arrived, so do remember from now on to start any
new discussions and questions at
https://github.com/cf-convention/discuss/issues - thank you.
Remember also to "Watch" [1] the two repositories
https://github.com/cf-convention/discuss (for general discussion and
standard names) and
https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions (for
proposed changes to the conventions) so that you receive all posts from the
CF community.
Note that whilst no new posts to cf-metadata at cgd.ucar.edu will be allowed,
any discussions that had previously been started there will be allowed to
continue on the list.
All the best,
David
[1] By going to the "Watch" pull-down menu on those sites, and selecting
"Watching"
