## Accepting minutes from [last meeting](https://hackmd.io/team/ome?nav=overview)

## Project Status

(2-3 minutes each)

- IDR (Frances)
    - Released NGFF upgrade work. No breakages or complaints.
    - Dom currently importing idr0138 for the next release. (Also NGFF but not yet on S3 storage) Should take about 2 weeks.
    - J-M: may also update the Bio-Formats dependencies.
    - J-M: mentioned at the challenge meeting? Not yet. Might get the question of how to get a list.
    - https://idr.openmicroscopy.org/webclient/?show=tag-38304992
    - FW: some issues with studies, though. See Bio-Formats below.

- Bio-Formats
    - David: synced Bio-Formats with the main branch. Have a small patch fix. (Non-memo-breaking)
      - idr0008: can't fix with a Bio-Formats update. Mismatch between the metadata and what's present. Will add in blank planes.
      - idr0001: converting to NGFF, but not for the next release.
      - Can move forward now that artifactory is working.
    - Melissa: focusing on reviews at the moment
    - J-M: back on track for release.

- OMERO
  - J-M: Seb/Chris pushing on a release of tables. To be rolled along with other omero-py etc. work.

- NGFF (Josh)
  - IUPAB/RIKEN:
    - web of data ("federation")
    - interest in point clouds and AFM (where we were in LM before Bio-Formats)
  - Challenge:
    - still prototyping, hopefully in a place
    - GUI choice outstanding: likely neuroglancer or vizarr (napari issues, no MoBIE effort)
    - range-request issues when using GitHub: good we found it sooner rather than later

- GerBI (Josh)
  - de.NBI hackathon proposal in on "increasing interoperability of bioimaging data in repositories" (Kassel in December)
  - Josh: ongoing OMERO integration work. some concerns about the infrastructure for those.
    - Erin: happy to discuss the use cases. Customers are coming and saying, "would like to use that" and need to manage expectations.

- Glencoe (Erin)
  - +1 on omero-py releases
  - late notes on the OME-Zarr in OMERO meeting. can setup a follow-on discussion in a week or so.
