We are a cooperative of imaging scientists dedicated to advancing open standards and open source technology in scientific image data analysis, storage, and dissemination.
@image.coopThis is our first major conference as an official sponsor, specifically the Barista Coffee Sponsor! 🥳 We are thrilled to be listed alongside giants of microscopy. Come, present your work, enjoy a delicious coffee on us, then chat with us about how we can help your image data management and analysis!
@image.coopLast call for abstracts (deadline Tue Oct 6) for the 29th Australian Conference on Microscopy & Microanalysis!

@joshmoore.bsky.socialReposted by @image.coopICYMI: OME-Zarr 0.6 is out! 🎉 This is big, years in the making. @bogovicj.bsky.social & @jo-soltwedel.bsky.social perseverance brought transformations into this next major step on the road to OME-Zarr 1.0. 👏👏👏 Huge congratulations to the Johns — and to everyone who helped get us here! 🥳🙌
@image.coopRFC-4 (anatomical) orientation markers in @napari.org are coming along! 🥳

@atbrakhi.bsky.socialReposted by @image.coopWhat happens when browsers agree with each other, but disagree with the specification?
A few days ago, my colleague @bkardell.com pointed out that this sometimes happens! You might expect us to fix the browsers. But sometimes, we change the specification instead.
@foolip.orgReposted by @image.coopThis is the best explanation of the interplay of specs, tests, and implementations that I've read. The point of both specs and tests is interoperable implementations, but that doesn't mean that implementations are always right when they agree.
@image.coopNew blog post from @joshmoore.bsky.social : how we communicate about project stages and what kind of feedback we are seeking at any given time, and avoid "stop the presses!" moments when something is close to the finish line:
@image.coopNew week, new OME-Zarr Office Hours! Thu 4pm San Francisco / Fri 8am Tokyo / Fri 9am Melbourne. Come ask any and all questions about OME-Zarr, *or* just lurk while @jni.codes and Draga Doncila Pop keep working on adding RFC4 orientation markers to @napari.org!

@jni.codesReposted by @image.coopIgalia turns 25! Read about their journey in the quoted thread+blog. Igalia is the cooperative that inspired @image.coop. I was lucky to visit them in A Coruña a few months ago and they continue to inspire me with their dedication to collective governance and open source. Here's to 25 more years! 🥂
@image.coopJust to keep the quote-post stack growing...
