Description
Motivation/Description
In order to support scientists and promote usage of open source libraries, we need to make updates to upstream libraries.This includes bug fixes, maintenance, enhancements, and docs on any of the tools listed as best practices in the VEDA docs as well as their underlying libraries (xarray, dask, geopandas...) when necessary. As part of this work we plan to stay engaged in ongoing community conversations.
Acceptance Criteria
- Continue with upstream features and fixes that impact our users
- DSE is an active participant in discussions and aware of new efforts
- Upstream documentation is clear and helpful
InterDependencies
- Communicate with ODD to ensure that we are not stepping on each other’s toes.
Level of Effort
Software Engineer / low (we mostly have some borrow time from Pete until Julia is back)
