+## Accepting minutes from [last meeting](https://hackmd.io/team/ome?nav=overview)
+
+## Project Status
+
+(2-3 minutes each)
+
+- IDR (Frances)
+  - Identified 3 candidate studies for starting the challenge:
+      - idr0090: compound screen with 5 channels, already in Zarr v2. Looking at channel metadata
+      - idr0157: phenotypic plant, non-screen; not yet converted to Zarr v2. 14 organisms to explore.
+      - idr0044: McDole lightsheet data; partially converted to Zarr v2. Looking at chunking and sharding.
+  - Dom looking at this on a pilot
+  - Josh: pilot is slow. Dom to try a restart.
+
+- OMERO (Andreas)
+  - OMERO.web release on Monday
+      - Tag pushed to Docker repo
+      - Announcement on website
+
+- Bio-Formats
+  - David: following on from the OMERO release
+    - otherwise, back to PR review
+    - ZarrReader: integrating zarr-java beside jzarr for testing the API
+  - Chris: watch out with 7.3.1 due to the metadata changes
+    - behavior of Bio-Formats when things are missing is quite different
+    - good thing since things don't blow up
+    - files that did fail, no longer do
+    - Josh: re-release as 7.4? something to think about.
+    - David: unclear on where
+    - Chris: specifically, all changes of `new Double()`. new behavior
+      - but we don't have broken stuff in the repo that should *stay* broken
+      - Melissa: will find another time to follow up on that
+
+- NGFF (Josh)
+  - Challenge:
+    - ro-crate
+      - Few new PRs opened. Thoughts welcome.
+    - rust > ts
+      - various performance issues (memory & partial reads)
+      - script to generate?
+    - codecs (issues)
+      - "ergonomics" of the configuration (as well as the specification) leaves much to be desired
+  - Transforms
+    - https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/GetYourBrainTogether
+    - Hopefully PRs etc. filtering into the public soon.
+
+- Glencoe (Chris)
+  - Various releases going in
+
+- Community
+  - JRS: paper hopefully done soon
+    - Using OMERO for training / clinical residents (continuing education)
+    - e.g., archipelago makes it hard to travel
