Plus more hacking pictures I forgot to attach to the workflows effort 😅

So grateful for this community, and very excited for what’s coming next for OME-Zarr. 🚀

More amazing organisers & helpers!

And none of this would have been possible without all the organizers & helpers, who kept things running smoothly. Huge thanks to everyone who made the hackathon happen — you are the reason this community keeps thriving.

(12/14 🧵)

This event would not have been possible without the generous support of the University of Zurich and of swissuniversities' Programme Open Science II. Thank you so much for giving us the resources to promote and develop FAIR practices in bioimaging!

(11/14 🧵)

Tons of additional work on ZIP-Zarr, Java libraries, capability manifests, conformance testing, Open Seadragon, bug fixing, prototyping, brainstorming and general OME-Zarr spec discussions

(10/14 🧵)

So many fixes and additions to the ViZarr viewer to ensure it's a good basis to rely on as an OME-Zarr web viewer going forward

(9/14 🧵)

A great plugin prototype to run Fractal tasks interactively in napari: Making interoperable workflow tasks accessible directly in a viewer

(8/14 🧵)

Exciting developments to make OME-Zarr even more accessible from FIJI: Keep an eye out for an update site to empower more drag & drop opening of OME-Zarrs in FIJI

(7/14 🧵)

Big progress on the Transformations and Collections RFCs: Setting the stage for the next developments in the spec and towards OME-Zarr 1.0

(6/14 🧵)

A major refresh of the OME-NGFF website (ngff.openmicroscopy.org), making it clearer, more accessible, and easier to navigate

(5/14 🧵)

The energy, the generosity, and the collaborative spirit were amazing to see.

A few highlight outcomes of the hackathon (longer form to follow later):

(4/14 🧵)

50 developers, researchers and image analysis experts from across the OME-Zarr ecosystem came together to prototype, break things, fix things, design new ideas, and have the conversations that only happen when everyone is in the same room (or around the same dinner table).

This followed the great OME-NGFF symposium Monday-Tuesday last week: bsky.app/profile/virg...
