Bonus Episode Description:
HDF5 has endured and grown for a quarter century thanks to countless contributions from people, organizations, and applications. We will share our perspective on those 25 years. We will visit some drivers that led to creating HDF5, highlight some early adopters and applications that helped HDF5 to gain acceptance, look at some interesting and fun uses of HDF5, call out the people and organizations that have kept HDF5 alive and healthy for a generation through their guidance and support, and describe the evolution of HDF5 over time.

Call the Doctor is a series of weekly, unscripted, live events! The HDF Group’s staff members will answer attendee questions and, for example, go over the previous week’s HDF Forum posts. The HDF Clinics are free sessions intended to help users tackle real-world HDF problems from a common cold to severe headaches and offer relief where that’s possible. As time permits, we will include how-tos, offer advice on tool usage, review your code samples, teach you survival in the documentation jungle, and discuss what’s new or just around the corner in the land of HDF.

Join us every Tuesday at 12:20 p.m. central (US/Canada.) on Zoom!
