Attending: Petr, Josh, Dom, Seb, Khaled, Frances, Jean-Marie, June, Andreas, Will, Davids Gault & Stirling, Jason, Kyle, Emil, Mina, Muhanad, Kevin

Start: 2:00 pm UK

## Accepting minutes from [last meeting](https://github.com/ome/meeting-minutes)

## Project Status

(2-3 minutes each)

- IDR
- Will: new search on IDR front page: https://github.com/IDR/idr-gallery/pull/8 (deployed on idr-testing)
- weblient search: https://github.com/ome/omero-web/pull/368
- https://github.com/ome/omero_search_engine_client/pull/18
- planning on exposing the search API and start consuming it internally as a first step
- current status (linked above) allows searching without knowing the key you're looking for _a priori_
- feedback (& testing!) welcome
- also a version running on merge-ci which re-uses search_engine_client (since the lucene backend of IDR doesn't work)
- good deal of pieces that need extracting / refactoring
- gone next 3 days but have temporarily made webclient search not depend on search_engine_client django app, just copied into the webclient PR for now
- tl;dr -- start here --> https://idr-testing.openmicroscopy.org

- Bio-Formats
- 6.10.0 release out now - Slidebook7 reader. Tweets etc coming...
- Seb: follow with server release

- OMERO
- JM: Doc migrated to [readthedocs](https://omero.readthedocs.io/en/stable/). Work on redirecting docs.o.org to readthedocs as part of the next openmicroscopy release (floating point)
- Seb: floating point: testing looks good. Configuration - defaults not changed.
- Documentation to be updated
- JM: ZarrReader bumped. Further testing needed? Discuss at standup tomorrow
- work on metadata tables (MZ). Ramping up on testing, esp. sparse data in tables.

- NGFF
- [Metadata work](https://github.com/ome/ngff/pull/112) roadmap ok?
- retroactive for v0.2 - v0.4

- Will: tried to revive https://github.com/hms-dbmi/vizarr/pull/125
- FYI: https://idr.github.io/ome-ngff-samples/

- when / where to calculate min/max etc.
