Zarr Summit
Join the people steering, implementing, and adopting Zarr to accelerate progress and shape the future of open science with multi-dimensional data!
We're teaming up with Radiant Earth and organizing a week-long Zarr summit close to Rome Central Station, making it easy to connect with participants of the STAC Sprint at ESA ESRIN.
Monday - Wednesday - Zarr development summit
Thursday - Friday - Zarr adopter summit
Goals
The first three days of the summit will produce a formal extension and prototype for variable chunk grid support in Zarr, improvements and demonstrations of sharding, and the formalization of highly performant compression and other codecs for Zarr. We will support Zarr v3 adoption during the final two days of the summit, including an invitation to all STAC Sprint participants to join us on Friday October 17.
By the conclusion of the meeting, we will have a roadmap for feature parity across Zarr implementations, multiple new adopters of the Zarr V3 format, and a plan for subsequent outreach, including a webinar and blog post highlighting the products of the summit and the benefits of adopting Zarr for open science.
