<div>Hi All-</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have now confirmed all the dates and room reservations. The 12th Annual OME Users Meeting will go ahead on May 31- June 1, 2017 at the University of Dundee, in lovely Dundee, Scotland. The weather last year was great, and who knows, that might happen
again this year. ;)!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are working on the programme and will aim to release this in the next couple of weeks. We’ll also post registration and accommodation details in the next couple of weeks. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently, we aim to start on the morning of May 31 with community lightning talks (these have been great!) followed by an afternoon of longer presentations. On June 1, we’ll have a day of workshops and discussions. We’d love feedback on last year’s UnMeeting
(tell us what you thought!). If you want to plan on a day of coding, maybe we can do that on June 2. If you’re interested, let us know. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For the themes, expect emphasis on </div>
<div>— large, scaled deploys</div>
<div>— various cloud-based installations of Bio-Formats and OMERO (e.g., AWS and OpenStack)</div>
<div>— an update on the IDR</div>
<div>— discussions about growing and expanding the Consortium</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>and several others. If you have suggestions for programme content, please do get in touch.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to seeing you all in Dundee!!!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
