HDF Newsletter 89

The HDF Group Update

As many of you are aware, The HDF Group separated from the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications and formed a not-for-profit corporation. Being an independent entity is critical to the long-term sustainability of the HDF technologies.

As part of this spin-off, we are (slowly) moving the HDF/HDF5 software from the NCSA machines to systems of our own. For now, the HDF/HDF5 software remains available from NCSA's FTP server, but it eventually will be moved to The HDF Group's FTP server.

Thank you for bearing with us through all of these changes.


Newsletter Address Change

Also as part of the spin-off, the hdfnews@ncsa.uiuc.edu mailing list is moving.

This message is the LAST newsletter to be sent to the hdfnews@ncsa.uiuc.edu address. The new mailing list for HDF news is: news AT hdfgroup.org

The current hdfnews@ncsa.uiuc.edu subscription list will be moved to the new mailing list; you should NOT need to subscribe to the new list if you already receive the newsletter.

This mailing list will ONLY be used to disseminate HDF news and related announcements. Users will not be able to send messages to this list. We will add a new list in the future enabling users to discuss HDF issues.

To add yourself to this list, send a message to:
news-subscribe AT hdfgroup.org

Thank you for all of your support and have a safe and happy holiday season!
