[ome-users] Request for volunteers interested in integration with CellProfiler 2

[Alessandro Dellavedova]

Dear all,

we'll be starting an HCS unit within a 3/4 months timeframe and we are very interested in the integration between OMERO and CellProfiler/CellAnalyzer, so please can count us in :)

I'll be more specific within a few weeks about what kind of resources we'll be able to contribute to this project.

Thank you all for your efforts and contributions to the OMERO community !

Alessandro

I'm currently working to bridge the gap between OMERO and our current version of CellProfiler<http://cellprofiler.org/>, but unfortunately I have yet to find anyone who is using both tools or at least would like to. If this is something that interests you (anyone!), I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas.

I've gotten the impression that this is something useful that people have been meaning to do, but once again, I'd love to hear from people with real use cases.

We are certainly willing (and hopefully able!) to help him on the technical side of the integration, but were wondering if anyone could make suggestions on how to most quickly and effectively bring CP & CPA into a real OMERO user's workflow. "How is your data laid out?", "How has it been tagged & classified?", "How do you want to visualize and interact with your results?", "How should results be stored?" are among the questions which it might be good to have answers to. If you have time and are interested, either contact Adam directly or email the list.
