One of the topics that has generated considerable interest within the CF community is *format interoperability*, and in particular the role that conventions such as CF can play in facilitating interoperability across different data formats and software ecosystems. Given your long-standing involvement with GDAL and your perspective as Chair of the GDAL Project Steering Committee, we would be very interested in having you participate in the workshop and contribute to these discussions. We believe that the GDAL community has valuable experience and insights into the practical challenges of interoperability, including what works well today, where difficulties remain, and where conventions such as CF and formats such as netCDF and GRIB could evolve to better support users and software developers. Depending on the final programme and available time, there may also be an opportunity for you—or another GDAL contributor you would recommend—to give a presentation on these topics. At this stage we would be interested in having the GDAL perspective represented in the workshop discussions. There is no registration fee for the workshop, and registration <https://events.ecmwf.int/event/568/registrations/440/> is now open. Please note that we are unfortunately unable to cover speaker/attendee travel or accommodation costs. We would be delighted to hear whether you might be interested in participating, and we would be happy to provide further details about the workshop and programme. *On behalf of the organising **committee**,* Dr Sébastien Villaume Senior Analyst Forecast Department European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts *Reading, UK* | Bologna, Italy | Bonn, Germany *e:* [email protected] *t:* +44 118 949 2301 *m:* +44 78 2552 1592 *w:* ecmwf.int <https://www.ecmwf.int/><https://www.ecmwf.int/>| staff profile <https://www.ecmwf.int/en/about/who-we-are/staff-profiles/sebastien-villaume> | *twitter:*@s_villaume <https://twitter.com/s_villaume> [email protected] This message and any attachments are intended for the sole use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
