All I can say right now is you can expect an announcement relatively soon, but 
our inability to develop or support Unidata's McIDAS-X remains the plan.  I'm 
sorry that this is a disappointment, McIDAS-X has served our community well 
over the years, but the way I see it the sunset of this software coinciding 
with a new generation of Geo satellites feels appropriate.  I'd be willing to 
bet McIDAS will continue to tick away just as it has for as long as the GOES-R 
series transmits data.

I will take this opportunity to remind you of the public email list: 
address@hidden.  I'll admit there isn't much traffic on there these days, but 
there could be.


Here's to the future,
-Mike
