No community meeting in September so we can attend an IMPORTANT seminar?

[paultgriffiths]

Hi all,

I propose we postpone our September meeting in favour of attending this important seminar -

https://www.helmholtz-hirse.de/series/2024_09_23-seminar_32.html

Sustainability Prize to ESMValTool: The Earth System Model Evaluation Tool (ESMValTool) is an open-source community-developed diagnostics and performance metrics tool for the evaluation and analysis of Earth System Models (ESMs). ESMValTool allows for a comparison of single or multiple models against predecessor versions and observations.
Speaker: Birgit Hassler (DLR)

Thoughts?

Congratulations to all of us for winning this prize! 🥇

It would be nice to have a community meeting again soon though, are you planning to organize one in October @paultgriffiths?

@paultgriffiths - I would like to propose the following two agenda items for the next Community meeting:

1. Discussion on ESMValTool governance:
   Our current governance document is at :https://esmvaltool.org/team/
   Some ideas for re-drafting our document is at: https://sustainers.github.io/governance-readiness/
   It would be good to have a discussion on how to write our governance structure. Bouwe is best placed to lead this topic, so please tag him.

2. Discussion on preparations for ESGF phase out of CMIP5 and CMIP3 data:
   This is described in a discussion and it will be good for the community to provide input here: Preparations for ESGF phase out of CMIP3 and CMIP5 data #181
