We are thrilled that the UK met office wants to collaborate with pangeo on their analytics platform. @alberto-arribas proposed to have a monthly call to help coordinate development efforts. This issue is to help us organize this monthly call.

I'm enthused by this. I'm somewhat busy this week but relatively free after this Thursday.

In the short term, I'd suggest we find a time in the next week to get a quorum together. Thursday or Friday of this week will work for me.

For recurring monthly meetings, it would be best to pick a fixed time / day. Something like the first Thursday of each month at 4PM GMT / 11AM EST / 8AM PST.

Thanks guys, we are truly excited about this too.

Copying @niallrobinson @jacobtomlinson from Lab. Any preferences on day of the week time for regular catchups on Pangeo? Being a lazy man, I am happy to go with @jhamman proposal, i.e.

First Thursday of each month at 4PM GMT / 11AM EST / 8AM PST

I am definitely happy with this. However I am on holiday on the 1st of Feb :).

So first Thursday of the month at 4pm GMT and this or next Friday at the same time?

I am also interested in attending the meetings if dask and kubernetes are on the agenda. I am fine with both Thursdays and Fridays European afternoons.

We really need @niallrobinson and @jacobtomlinson to weigh in on whether they are available to meet tomorrow (Friday) or next week. I personally think a brief technical discussion sooner than mid February would be valuable for all involved.

@rabernat I can do 2pm GMT today or 4pm GMT Tues-Fri next week. I would imagine @niallrobinson is not available today as he is travelling.

@mrocklin

I suspect that US West Coasters are still asleep. I recommend that we settle on 4pm GMT Tuesday if that's still available.

@jacobtomlinson

Sounds good! Speak to you all then.

Let's be clear: this call is open to anyone interested in collaborating on this project (e.g. @ogrisel). We welcome your involvement!

@pwolfram

@rabernat, if I understand correctly does "this project" means pangeo with an emphasis on analytics? If I understand correctly I would like to call in if possible. Thanks!

@mrocklin

I suggest that we figure out a proposed agenda and then people decide their involvement based on that. I think that the original intent was to sync up with the UK Met folks, who have particular interest in deploying cloud-based Jupyter+Dask systems. My guess is that this particular meeting is of interest to @ogrisel but is probably of less interest to @pwolfram .

More broadly though, we should figure out how to better organize. People seem to want to engage across a number of different institutions and I suspect it's not clear from their perspective how to do this. Github communication has been decent so far, but it could be that a regular and somewhat frequent video conversation would help.

@rabernat

Yes, good point Matt. The call on Tuesday is specific in scope to deployment on cloud with Kubernetes.

We are definitely overdue for a more generally scoped virtual meeting. I think a bit about how to organize and publicize that.

@rabernat

FYI, I'm not sure I'll be able to make the call today...which is ok, since I don't have much to contribute on kubernetes issues.

Same here

No problem. Perhaps in this case it would be best to postpone until the same time tomorrow?

@mrocklin
Copy link

That works well for me. Also pinging @yuvipanda given the probable focus on Kubernetes (although this might be early for US Pacific time).

I suggest that we meet in https://appear.in/dask-dev at 4pm UTC, 11am US Eastern, 8am US Pacific Wednesday 2018-01-24

oooh, I think I can make it (8AM Pacific tomorrow)?

Re: "fix the HDF5 library to be able to talk to an object store like S3 rather than being hardcoded to only use a POSIX FS" - the HDF Group is developing a HDF5Lib VFD that allows read access from S3. It should be ready for beta testing soon. The VFD ("Virtual File Driver") is low-level plugin that basically maps Posix IO requests to S3 Range GETS.

This Thursday (March 1) is the first Thursday of the month. Are we still on for a monthly check-in with the Met Office folks?

Last time, we did 4PM GMT / 11AM EST / 8AM PST. This works for me.

Some thing we can talk about

I can also join. A short discussion of how the JADE JupyterHub splash page is configured would be something to add to the list.

As I mentioned earlier up the thread (#76 (comment)) we are at the EarthCube meeting and aren’t available to meet today. Are you free same time next week?

@jacobtomlinson

My bad! Afraid not, how about tomorrow or Thursday next week?

@StephanSiemen
Copy link

Thanks for all the welcoming messages. We are very happy to have a telco to present the Copernicus Climate Data Store toolbox (in short the toolbox uses xarray). Next week is a bit tight put perhaps we can have a separate call in two weeks time? I will set something up ...
Next week is fine with me in general, but I will be on mission, and might not be able to talk much depending on what corner I find to join ;-)

@jacobtomlinson

Great! Could you raise a separate issue to arrange that call @StephanSiemen?

You also may want to check out #40 and add comments there.

@StephanSiemen

Thanks @jacobtomlinson, created #302 .

Can we hold the met-office / Pangeo monthly telecon on Friday, June 15? My whole day is open.

This call will return to its original scope: coordination between the UK Met Office team and the US NSF-funded team.

We will soon announce a plan for a more general purpose recurring meeting.

@jacobtomlinson

Sure. As it is a Friday I would prefer to do it at 4pm-5pm BST (UTC+1) at the very latest, but I appreciate there are others in very different time zones!

@StephanSiemen
Copy link

Friday 15th, any time between 2pm - 6pm is fine with me

@jacobtomlinson

@StephanSiemen this for arranging is the Met Office/EarthCube meeting. Let's continue arranging the ECMWF/Pangeo meeting in #302 and not here.

After July 10 I will be in Italy but still generally available online.

If you fancy a trip to Innsbruck and the Tirolean mountains: let me know!

Do we have a call tomorrow morning (US) / afternoon (UK)?

I'm more than happy to have a call. However with the general meeting only about 10 days away perhaps we should save it for then?

Ok. I haven't heard from anyone on this except @jacobtomlinson. I think @rabernat is traveling, and we are all going to be meeting face-to-face in less than 2 weeks. So, let's cancel this call this morning. ...Unless anyone has any critical issues to discuss?

On my calendar, tomorrow is supposed to be our next checking with the UK MetOffice Informatics Lab.
The last time we brought this up, though, we discussed having meetings only when needed (and for specific technical topics). Is that the case? Do we have anything to discuss tomorrow?

Joe and Kevin, I'd be happy to have a quick chat if you think it would be useful.
