  • Seb: record?

  • Moving towards release of prod71. HPA run 6 and idr0069

• Python3

  • Various 5.6.devX tags now appearing. Compatibility & `future`

    issues.

    • E.g. omero-py 5.6.x works with server 5.5.x
  • Django 1.9 in; moving on to Django 1.11 which has unblocked

    • How to deal with large datasets and plug into OMERO.

    • Several solutions. S3 / NFS

    • Uni Queensland - iRODS - can also store metadata etc

      • Will try iRODs with OMERO.dropbox

      • Interested in other iRODs users & use-cases

  • Submissions: BioStudies (Josh)

    • Some BioStudies users want ‘view’ of data (as in IDR)

    • Can use demo server to test, but not solution

    • Start with data in BioStudies, so we can see if it is

      ‘reference’ data.
