Dear All,

We would like to draw your attention on the following initiative:

Fiji/ImageJ Hackathon
March 15th-26th, 2010
Room 6.51a

A group of around 15 core developers of FIJI/ImageJ will meet here at the EMBL with the aim of enhancing 3D visualization and timelapse analysis in ImageJ/Fiji.

Fiji (“Fiji is just ImageJ”) (http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de). It emerged as a user-driven response to organize ImageJ's collection of plugins, along with comprehensive user documentation, and version-controlled code for developers. The developers introduced new ImageJ libraries for image registration, stitching, segmentation, feature extraction, 3D visualization, and numerous others.

It is a software development sprints. Hosting such an initiative here at the EMBL is a great opportunity for both EMBL imaging processing specialists and researchers to contribute to the open Fiji project, and have a saying in the development of this widely popular software.

Please note that the Hachathon is an open platform however, if you want to participate please send and email to Kota Miura (miura@embl.de ).
