Project Status

(2-3 minutes each)

• IDR (Frances):
  • quick NGFF test this morning of ZarrReader with s3 AND microservices. Looking good, best yet. More testing (multi Z/T images) and stress testing next.
  • David: ZarrReader updated to use s3 AWS SDK (v1 to match microservices) to access data directly.
  • Will: uses URL from bfoptions file, generated by omero-mkngff (PR open)
  • Seb: quite specific to IDR use-case: how to brand this etc? JM: similar to micro-services, not yet generally promoted for OMERO installs
  • David: several ZarrReader-specific options used by IDR, but could be made more generic
  • Jason: e.g. GigaScience has Technical Note where this could be published.
• OMERO (Andeas)
