Unidata is currently evaluating AWIPS II release 13.1.2, which includes a new unified grib decoder to supply both D2D and the National Centers Perspective with gridded data. With this decoder upgrade and the UPC's improved decoding of high-volume NEXRAD3 and CONDUIT feeds, the last major addition to AWIPS II before release is GEMPAK functionality. GEMPAK 7 will be released as an add-on to AWIPS II for the National Centers and the Unidata community.
With this in mind, Unidata is preparing the AWIPS II system for release to the public by the end of 2013, with an official release date to be determined. The software will be released in two parts:
- Pre-built binaries for EDEX server and CAVE client installation.
- AWIPS II Development Environment, including source code.
The source code will be maintained in a public github repository with an online documentation hub hosted at the Unidata website.
Visit the Unidata AWIPS II page for more information.
Would it be possible to set a virtual machine image with AWIPS2 installed?
It would be cool to have an AMI we could play with without installing stuff.
Thanks,
Rich

Rich - that should not be a problem, assuming you have enough CPU/RAM to support. That's how I distribute GEMPAK/NAWIPS currently.
