The project currently powers numerous high profile catalogues such as IOOS, NGDS, NOAA, US Department of State, US Department of Interior, geodata.gov.gr, Met Norway and WMO WOUDC. This session starts with a status report of the project, followed by an open question answer session to give a chance to users to interact with members of the pycsw project team. This session will cover how the project PSC operates, the current project roadmap, and recent enhancements focused on ESA's EOEPCA, Open Science Data Catalogue and OGC API - Records.
