- JM: Seb, can you summarize call with Gulliame yesterday ?
- Seb: Based on the discussion, the skills and interest of the France Bioimaging will not be on coding level, rather deploying, some overlap with GerBI, still deciding on docker, on ansible. In terms of testing, also less ability on pure hardware infrastructure, but some potential for testing. These are preliminary discussions. More calls in August.
