[ome-devel] 2009 OME User's Meeting-- Paris!

[Jason Swedlow]

Dear All-

We are proud to announce the next OME User's Meeting.  Prof Spencer  
Shorte, Institut Pasteur has again agreed to be our host-- so once  
again we will be in Paris!

Programme: The meeting will be held May 19-20, running from 0930 -  
1730 both days, at the Institut Pasteur.  The major focus will be  
discussing where the OME project is, and where it should go to meet  
the community's needs.

The first morning will dedicated to short reports from OME developers  
about where the different parts of the project our, and our current  
roadmap   The first afternoon will be open to presentations from the  
community, with the goal of hearing your requirements, wishes, own  
efforts, and experiences with OME specifications, libraries, and  
software.   All of your comments should be directed towards issues the  
community needs to hear, and what OME should provide the community.   
We will ask that these presentations be short-- 15 min max (please  
understand that we will be strict with timing)-- with the goal of  
driving discussion through the rest of the meeting.  If you want to  
present, please let Spencer and me know, and we will get a programme  
together for this.

We'll publish the full Programme in due course:  http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/events/ome-european-users-meeting-2009

Spencer and Christiane have worked hard to arrange a room that will  
fit our growing size-- we can now accept a much larger number of  
participants.  Regardless, it helps us ALOT to know how many people  
are coming as soon as possible.  As in previous years, we will provide  
lunch, and the meeting facilities, but we have no resources to support  
travel, hotel, or other expenses.   However, we will try to make hotel  
reservations for you-- please contact OME2009-Imagopole at pasteur.fr to  
register for the meeting and get arrangements made.  Please do this as  
soon as possible to guarantee a place.

If you or your organization are interested in helping to sponsor the  
meeting, please contact Spencer or myself.  The Wellcome Trust has  
generously dedicated some funds to support the costs of the meeting  
venue.

We look forward to another great meeting-- these meetings have been  
very exciting for all, and we look forward to another stimulating  
couple of days in Paris.

As always, thanks for your support.

Cheers,

Jason & Spencer
