Community support

The Open Microscopy Environment provides a number of resources for both our user and developer communities to assist in use and development of our software. Contributions through our mailing lists and forums are always welcome.

Web

The Open Microscopy Environment website is at https://www.openmicroscopy.org. Bio-Formats can be found at https://www.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats.

Forums

The primary support channel is the image.sc forum. The legacy OME forum contains historical support topics and remains available as read-only.

Mailing lists

The following lists are provided:

  • ome-users – support with installation and general use or miscellaneous queries, as well as bug reporting
  • ome-devel – development discussion and support

Note

You can email these lists without subscribing but posts by non-members will be moderated before going out to all members. We endeavor to approve all genuine posts within 24 hours on working days, but we encourage you to subscribe to take advantage of our active and supportive community.
