Post summer: 5.x series
Moving towards Zero API breakage
What does it mean:
- Stable for next 18-24 months
- Move towards “release by deliverable” E.g. next is Cambridge Training
- Adjusting our coding/work practise
- More version to code/test against
Why? “Monolithic OMERO” is “Deprecated”
Break into smaller pieces:
- Microservices
- Python plugins
- API addition driven by Apps
Infrastructure:
- Need easy access to 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 etc
- Apps/microservices deployment
AOB (5 mins max - technical discussions should be highlighted to relevant people and rescheduled)
- OMERO benchmarking for wider adoption at Imperial
-
make subsequent team meetings all-zoom, no meeting room?
- No limit on zoom numbers now
- JM- try it over the summer
- June: won’t cancel room bookings yet - trial period.
