MetOcean plugfest 2015

Where: ECMWF, Reading, UK

When: 2nd October 2015 as part of the Visualisation in Meteorology week

Outcome

The general observation is that compared to 2014 many improvements were seen in the display (e.g. correct location) but more access problems surfaced (e.g. HTTPS). During the plugfest the participants were able to fix some issues on access.
