Agenda
- OMERO Week -- anything need to be done?
- ImageJX
- packaging and putting up Beta4-RC2: when and where?
- docs list-- where? what is done, what needs to be done and who is doing it?
- testing-- who is leading this? which users? How do we ensure complexity and diversity of client apps and functionality are covered?
- Licensing of OMERO (see memo from ZeroC). Is it sufficient to just use choice of GPL versions?

-
status update

Jason: packages as RC2 on milestone download page?
- applications are good enough that people should start using them
- must be clear how to get started
- for internal use, don't say: just go to hudson
- Brian: some users were not able to connect due to version #s
- Chris: must be careful to not do one off builds.
- RC need to follow a structure to prevent things down-line
- Let's stick to this!!
-
estimate
- new server on Monday? then RC2 then and let users test it
- release week after if things go well?
- on milestone download page? Problematic.
- new tag? Sure.

turning even personal emails into tickets (like feedback)
- CC usable images

licensing (ICE)
- APL & GPL2

Image/Pixels (Bernhard Voigt's email)
- OMERO assumes 1-to-1 (i.e. not exposed or used)
- Assume it will move out of the schema eventually
- Bioformats never writes out multiple pixels (does read)
