<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Dear All-<div><br></div><div>We are moving towards our release of Beta4, and things are going pretty well. Most of the code is frozen, and we have started our internal testing. We hope to be releasing on-time, or at worst 7-10 days late. </div><div><br></div><div>Please note that the team has been working very hard on Beta4, and those of you who follow the development will know it is a big change. Among other things, we'll move all of our clients over to ICE remoting, we'll deliver the first release of OMERO.web and a first taste of OMERO.fs, and much more.</div><div><br></div><div>Obviously, the team has been working very hard. Many of you depend on our docs, (e.g., <a href="http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/ServerDesign)">http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/omero/wiki/ServerDesign)</a>. We take these quite seriously, and want to insure that they are brought up-to-date as quickly as possible. Please realise that even though we have a very talented and industrious team, getting all the work done for a big release has to come first, and the docs will follow over the following few weeks. Thus there will be an interval of 2-4 weeks where the screencast videos (<a href="http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/videos">http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/videos</a>) and the various Trac wiki's will be updated, so that any single resource might be out of date. Once the release is out, this will be our focus. We ask that you bear with us-- there's alot to do, but we'll get it done, one step at a time. If you have any specific questions, please do write these lists, and we will address things as quickly as we can.</div><div><br></div><div>As always, thanks for your support.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Jason</div><div><br></div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">**************************</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Wellcome Trust Centre for Gene Regulation & Expression</font></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">College of Life Sciences</font></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">MSI/WTB/JBC Complex</font></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">University of Dundee</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Dow Street</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Dundee DD1 5EH</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">United Kingdom</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><br style="font-family: Helvetica; "></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">phone (01382) 385819</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Intl phone: 44 1382 385819 </span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">FAX (01382) 388072 </span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">email: <a href="mailto:jason@lifesci.dundee.ac.uk">jason@lifesci.dundee.ac.uk</a></span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><br style="font-family: Helvetica; "></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Lab Page: <a href="http://www.dundee.ac.uk/lifesciences/swedlow/">http://www.dundee.ac.uk/lifesciences/swedlow/</a></span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Open Microscopy Environment: <a href="http://openmicroscopy.org">http://openmicroscopy.org</a></span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">**************************</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; "><div>The University of Dundee is a Scottish Registered Charity, No. SC015096.</div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div></body></html>
