Hi All, I've converted an athena dataset to GDF/'yt data format'. It is currently readable by my fork of yt and functional (outside of some ghost zone issues), and I expect to push my changes to the main yt development branch soon. If you want to download this and take a look at the layout of the hdf5 file during our meeting, feel free (65MB file): http://corvette.colorado.edu/~skillman/simulations/athena_kh_0030.gdf Looking forward to the hangout!

Hi all,

Casey, Cameron, Sam and I are going to be meeting -- likely utilizing "Google Hangouts" -- to discuss the grid data format (Jeff has suggested we just call it the 'yt data format,' which I am also down for.) The meeting will be on Wednesday at 1:15PM Eastern. I'll announce it again on Wednesday (with URL), but only in IRC, not the mailing list.

We'll be discussing what improvements could be made to the existing yt data format:

as well as Sam's (awesome) progress with importers/exporters, and integration with the IRATE-format. I think we're all hoping this could be a serialization format to take to the bank, so if you have thoughts on interop or ground-up design of a data format, we'd appreciate your participation.
