Session Description
This session aims to create consistent, reproducible workflows for others to learn and use. We will start with a concrete example using source.coop, a data publishing utility that works like GitHub in that data has an “owner”, is versioned, and there is metadata and documentation associated. This is new technology, and we are interested to explore it together and create onboarding documentation for the following questions:
How do you get data onto source.coop?
What technical and metadata expertise do you need?
Could it point to a STAC catalogue?

We will have live demos from two of the most seasoned users with source.coop (Signell and Boettiger) and work together to co-create documentation and identify any opportunities for feature development to make it easier to onboard. We will design the session so there is time to poke around live together and that participants are comfortable asking questions and saying “wait, can you say more, what does that do?” We’ll use Google Docs and Markdown/GitHub for documentation, so that there are multiple entry points for participants to contribute

Value to Session Participants
Others are interested in what this technology can do, and also will have ideas about what modern reusable geospatial workflows can look like. Excited to learn from them.
