[ome-users] ome-users Digest, Vol 54, Issue 11

Fri Oct 16 12:49:42 BST 2009

Hi Mike-

Thanks, and glad you are watching.

If you keep an eye on our Hudson builds  
(hudson.openmicroscopy.org.uk), you'll see we are very close.  The  
last QA builds are working very nicely, although we are ironing out  
the last few issues.  We've been testing heavily for the last two  
weeks.  We have a mtg today to define final schedule.  I'll send email  
this PM (UK time) with our plan.

Cheers,

Jason
