Hi everyone:
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at 10am PT / 1pm ET for our first monthly hipscat/lsdb "demo and feedback" day.
The agenda:
• Introducing new people
• Development process updates
• New HiPSCat/LSDB features
• Roadmap updates
• Your feedback/updates
• AOB.
The Zoom is at:
https://cmu.zoom.us/j/92939204460?pwd=aGdXTFQ5d1pTVmI1a0t3d0UwTzRhQT09
and the (largely already pre-filled notes) are at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l86MuzfYROWfRg_tg4R7o38WvHXUurHUEknUFWeCI78/edit
Regards,

Hi Everyone,
We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET for our second monthly hipscat/lsdb "demo and feedback" day. I am excited to show you all a selection of things that we have done in the last month! Please let us know if there is something in particular that you would like to discuss.
The agenda:
• New HiPSCat/LSDB features
Empty partitions - where are they
Spread in the size of pixels - why are they
Speed improvements in reading
Margin spatial filtering and skymap plotting
Dask investigations, and talking about dask expressions
• Your feedback/updates
• AOB.
The zoom is at:
https://cmu.zoom.us/j/92939204460?pwd=aGdXTFQ5d1pTVmI1a0t3d0UwTzRhQT09
The notes (with some pre-fill) are at:

Even more loading improvements in reading (optimizing paths, pixel tree)
Finding the galactic plane
Resuming imports
State of almanac discussion
Pixel upgrades for a small to large catalog join
