         • Gus: nothing new, downtime will have to wait until next month
      2. IDR Project
         • Josh M: data going in, Jason has presentation coming, so try not to bring IDR down

   6. FLIMfit/OPT (Ian) - 14:37 UK

      • plenty of bug reports
      • progress on super-resolution
      • looked at Alan Race’s spectroscopy data, open-source MATLAB tool can read it, still to get the data into an array so it can be converted to OME-TIFF

   7. Other consortium timelines (5 minutes) - 14:39 UK

      • nothing

3. Release, tagging, announcement policy - 14:39 UK

   • Sebastien B: issues are,
     • communicating milestones for OMERO.figure, etc., as we already do for Bio-Formats, OMERO
       • good to know when production-ready code is needed
       • do we know when OMERO.figure 1.2.0 is to be released? how to structure testing, etc.?
         • Will: was aiming for yesterday
         • Jean-Marie: should have a release template Trello board, even if few cards as yet
         • Will: already items listed on a release card
         • Jean-Marie: board would be useful for tracking features against releases
   • Wilma: it is possible Jason may be able to discuss on Friday, also away early next week
   • Petr: are we ever demoing features on tadpole that are not yet formally released?
     • relevant especially for important features already well-tested
     • Josh M: my concern was that the deployment was of merge build at last minute
       • Sebastien B: span up three RCs in four hours, suggesting quality of build was not sufficient
       • Sebastien B: even for “unreleased” features, still need time to put it through enough of the release process for confidence in the build

4. R and OMERO (prototype) - presentation by Dominik - 14:53 UK

   • Roger: can you get the pixel data as a matrix?
     • Dominik: yes
   • Roger: put convenience functions into a namespace?
     • Dominik: would like to
   • Jean-Marie: people in SLS using R?
     • Graeme: yes, probably analysis of spreadsheets generated from other software, rather than analyzing raw images
   • Jean-Marie: Gateway board has an OMERO ↔ R card, comments welcome
   • Dominik: RStudio on the Mac expected old Java
     • Roger/Curtis: homebrew?
     • Graeme: that’s just R
     • Roger: still got interactivity and graphics output though
   • Dominik: would be interesting to integrate R with OMERO.tables
     • Roger: can also create data frames from PostgreSQL queries
     • Jean-Marie: would be good to know how to generate CSV, etc. such that it is most usable from R
   • Josh M: could see someone wanting to run scripts in EBI cluster against IDR data
     • would be great to get everybody laying their data out in a consistent way

5. AOB (5 mins max - technical discussions should be highlighted to relevant people and rescheduled) - 15:18 UK
