OMERO in Action: Jerome's discussion (20 mins)
Overview
- Has been working on DMBI for a year (funded by JIST)
-
Have to produce reusable materials as a part of the grant
- OMERO training materials
- span out to "in action" event and day of lectures
-
April lectures with 7 speakers
- 2 day workshop on OMERO
- Have a nice teaching facilty
-
58 delegates for talks, 7 speakers, 3 trainers coming, 50% local, 50% (mainly UK)
- 23 for workshop
- Lecture day is going to be free through teaching funding
Goal: discuss workshop items
Wants to pick brains (looking for feedback)
Q: Any existing materials?
- We've done nothing on this scale, but related items
-
Most organized demo recently was in France
- Single laptop server with many clients
- Also demos at ASCB meeting
We do have pamphlets, decorations, roller displays, lanyards, small number of t-shirts
@@Have people send their T-shirt sizes
@@Have people bring data (will have some sample data just in case)
Suggestions from Team:
- Chris: Might be nice to have some specific workflows (HCS for example)
- Brian: CLI tools
- Jason: Bio-formats in general
Jerome: mixed crowd - some developers, some users (higher proption)
JMB: Which version are you going to use? Newer version with bug fixes?
- Jerome: Could go both ways. Not 100% sure (don't know what's in the new version)
- JMB: Need to decide what servers to set up, etc.
Jason: How many of these visitors are develpers?
- Jerome: Only 2 or 3 - some 'matlab' users
- Jason: May want to just take them aside and cater to their needs 'on the side'
- Jason: We found its worth the time to set up a server with data, groups, etc in advance
- Chris: 23 people on the server may be a lot for a demo server - keep that in mind
- Chris: Need to make sure we don't 'mix up the clients' a lot (can get confusing)
-
Jason: About the version thing: Nothing more annoying then frequent crashes
- Chris: Realistically I don't see us using 4.3 for this
- Jason: At the very latest need things sent to Jerome by end of March
-
Jason: 2 days is about right, maybe spend a full morning to OMERO.editor
- Second day cover matlab, scripting, etc.
-
Jason: Melissa, does cellprofiler 2.0 have bio-formats built in? M: believe so
- Jerome: Never touched it, will need to. Should contact them
-
Chris: For me, ending the meeting with 'real world examples' would make sense
- Scott: Would be nice to finish with 'what's coming next'
- Chris: If Jerome sets up an outline, can help to flesh it out
- Jerome: Was thinking of doing a wiki for all this, then getting OMERO team feedback
- Jason: Wireless and connectivity good there? Jerome: Yes
-
JMB: Need to think about 'follow up'. Need to discuss how to reach community.
- Jerome: Yes, where forums are, mailing list, documentation, etc
-
Scott: Would be good to collecting some 'scientist feedback' from this - can go to this
-
Chris: Would be good for them to see funcationality,
- then Scott gets feedback on day 1
- then show where to get that functionality on day 2
-
Jerome: One thing we did do was set up a form of questions (sign-in form)
- will try to summerize that data for OMERO team
-
Chris: Would be good for them to see funcationality,
-
Jerome: Will revise schedule based on this feedback and get back to us
- Chris: Next Tuesday? Jerome: Sounds fine
- Andrew: Need some photographs taking at the event
-
Scott: Would be good to get Michael there
- Will: Would be good to have a scientist there talking to other scientists
- JMB: What message do we want to send (with a scientist)? Is it beneficial?
- Chris: Nice to have real scientist doing real work. Is that better then having a dev?
Any other business (<5 mins)
- Jason: next version of the paper this week
