<div>Dear All-</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We’re continuing to submit funding proposals for funding OME’s core work. Our next proposal is due at the beginning of October, where we are targeting distributed logins and data sources. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In suport of this proposal, we have the opportunity to include letters of support for the overall project, that is, for the OME Consortium and use of OME-TIFF, Bio-Formats and OMERO. These statements are very important, as they show the value and utility
of the software we build and deliver to the community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thus, we’d ask you all to consider writing a short email (to me) that presents your thoughts on OME’s work, its utility in supporting your and/or your colleague’s science, and any ideas or suggestions for our future work. Please do send these by Oct.
5.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please do not take our work, and by extension, funding for our work for granted. Without your explicit support, we can’t demonstrate the importance to the wider community or justify continued funding.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As always, thanks in advance for your help and support.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Jason</div>
