The document discusses the current status and future plans for HDF-EOS, a software toolkit for working with Earth science data files. It notes that maintenance support is funded through May 2009, with one full-time and one half-time developer. Major software components like the SDP Toolkit, HDF-EOS2, HDF-EOS5, and the HDF-EOS to GeoTIFF Converter are maintained and new releases planned. Future development focuses on auto-configuration, 64-bit support, and improved tools for viewing and converting HDF-EOS files.
