[ome-users] Simple Question, OME or OMERO?

[Jerome Avondo]

hi,

many thanks, this really helped clarify things up. I think I will also give OME a try such that I can see both OME vs OMERO and decide which is best for our labs needs.

Quick question:

What OS do you recomend to install OME server on, I see the group uses mainly Mac OS X (v10.3?) 
But I would be more interested in using Fedora.

Is Fedora Core 6 still the recomended version for an OME/Fedora server install?

kind regards,

j.

Hi-Sorry, should have mentioned that the screencast videos at http://openmicroscopy.org/howto/ are from the Beta2.1 clients.  We just released Beta2.3.  We will be updating the videos for Beta3.  The Beta2.3 clients provide alot of new functionality, including import history, our first steps towards tagging, and usable-adjustable image compression.  See the Beta2.3 announcement for a more complete list.Cheers,Jason

Thank you for the info. 

I managed to get the OMERO server setup and had a play with the clients. Looks very nice, but it seems to be missing alot of the functionality of OME.

So it seems OME is the only real way forward to address the needs of the Lab I am in. We use Matlab quite extensively for our image analysis, so Matlab integration is a requirement.

I am still not clear to why the Open Microscopy Group has these two projects. So have the following questions I think I should try and understand before I make a decision.

1) Is OMERO planned to one day substitute OME?

2) If (1) is true will moving from OME to OMERO be feasable?

3) If (1) is true again, whats wrong with OME?

I had a good look around the website but couldnt really find any information regarding this. If anybody could shed some ligth I would greatly appreciate. Maybe I just misunderstood something....

Regards,

j.
