We're excited to help organize the OME-Zarr Office Hours with a new rotating schedule starting today! 🎉 Whether you're using OME-Zarr today or just curious to learn more, we'd love to see you there. 📅 Full schedule: ngff.openmicroscopy.org/community

Keeping track of OME-Zarr support across the ecosystem isn't always easy. Over the past few weeks, we've been speaking with stakeholders about experiences, successes, and remaining gaps. Here is our snapshot of where things stand and where effort may be most valuable next: image.coop/blog/posts/2...

We want to hear from you about your experience using the OME-Zarr ecosystem and how we can improve it! We are joining the upcoming OME-NGFF community call to introduce ourselves to the community and to collect your feedback (May 26, 9AM and 5PM CET). See you there! forum.image.sc/t/join-us-fo...

great first presentation of the @image.coop, by @perlman.bsky.social exciting stuff! #GIDE2026

Member Eric Perlman takes the stage at @embl.org to announce our launch as an international worker co-op for #OSS scientific imaging software. First task supported by @biohub.org is accelerating #OMEZarr towards a 1.0 alpha early 2027. Stay tuned! image.coop #GIDE2026 @gideproject.bsky.social

Where better to hear the community's thoughts on #OMEZarr!

Thrilled to join #ome2026! Reach out to Eric or Josh if you want to chat.

Really excited to finally share this more widely. This is exactly the kind of work we hoped the cooperative could support—helping turn strong community momentum around #OMEZarr into something more coordinated and sustained. Very curious to hear what people think.

Our first project is live. ✨ With support from @biohub.org, @image.coop is coordinating work across the #OMEZarr community to help move the standard toward 1.0—supporting both implementation and the coordination needed to get there. More details in our latest post: image.coop/blog/posts/2...

Hello, world! We are starting a worker cooperative to build, maintain, teach, and support open source scientific imaging software. image.coop/blog/posts/2...
