    • Follow-on documentation

    • Open it up on idr-testing first, this week.

• East (infra/IDR 0.5.0)

  • Various build-related releases going out. With new docs

    strategy, end of “phase 1”

    • Support building BF on Java9, all branches except ‘East’

    • New Bioformats-documentation repo.

  • Side note: some first (internal) repos might be getting a

    Python3 face lift.

    • Learn on internal repos. OMERO.py etc later will be much

      harder

  • Pyramid pressure is growing.

    • Melissa: attempted plain-TIFF + jpeg2000 strategy for

      extra-OMERO pyramid generation strategy. Works with limitations. Stop gap.

  • No update on read-only, but there may be a web leak

    • J-m: could combine with the public user swap issue
  • Also looking into django benchmarking a la streaming tar

    downloads

    • Want to be able to measure call times for Django

  • idr0040 progresses despite naming fun

    • Idr47 release with new data to follow idr46 (password

      release)

  • Various other cleanups: orgs, issues, gpfs, apex
