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.

-Matt
