- Performance PR open, another coming.
Repositories - 14:36 UK
- Virtual Microscope/teaching: Nothing new at this moment.

IDR Project: Eleanor looking at data. Gabry via June collecting more.
- Eleanor: got first dataset in Dundee, paucity of metadata
- Eleanor: obtaining yeast dataset, already annotated by different ontology
- Eleanor: also movement with EMBL and JCB
- Chris: a couple of older JCB datasets available in Dundee imminently
- Josh M: awkwardness with directories with enormously many files in them over network shares
FLIMfit/OPT (Ian) - 14:38 UK
- Ian just got back.
- Compatibility with Bio-Formats 5.1 more urgent than OMERO 5.1.
Bio-Formats large file sets (Sebastien B) - 14:40 UK
- Bio-Formats test_images_good on Windows now green and in daily testing
-
Grouping together the data that is more awkward to import, e.g., enormous screens.
- How do people want to interact with this? Some requires in-place import. CI could import when necessary.
Other consortium timelines (5 minutes) - 14:43 UK
- Curtis: ImageJ OMERO discussion useful
- Curtis: will get working with Bio-Formats 5.1
- Curtis: no ImageJ Insight for 5.0
- Curtis: will e-mail about script for getting new Bio-Formats into FIJI (or see comment on Roger’s BF PR)
-
Josh: very reluctant to have external users test with merge builds
- Chris: problem is that they include other untested PRs
- Josh: if external testing reveals bug in merged PR, just have to open another to fix it
-
Curtis: can offer ad hoc JAR hand-built with only the open PR merged
- Roger: often necessary as many users do not know how to do the merge and build themselves
AOB (5 mins max - technical discussions should be highlighted to relevant people and rescheduled) - 14:54 UK
-
“Community feedback”
- Josh: can increase community involvement by encouraging outside development toward PRs
