Fwd: [micro-manager-general] Survey on the Future of Micro-Manager

dscho
Dear ImageJ users,

[obligatory disclaimer: Sorry if you receive this twice!]

as many of you know, it is made challenging to provide useful Open Source
software to the scientific community (it is much easier to write software for
one person only and to publish that). Nevertheless, research would be
impossible without that software, and without software developers spending the
time to make their programs run on other researchers' computers in addition to
their own.

One of above-mentioned Open Source software applications is ImageJ, of course,
and another, closely related one that many of you know well, too, is
Micro-Manager. Now you have an opportunity to contribute back a little: the
Micro-Manager team would like you to answer a couple of questions that will
help the future direction of the project:

Dear Micro-Manager Users,

As we previously announced, later this year we are going to move the
core development of Micro-Manager from UCSF to a small company that we
will be founding soon, in order to ensure the long-term continuation and
success of Micro-Manager. You can read our previous announcement here:
http://micro-manager.3463995.n2.nabble.com/The-future-of-Micro-Manager-tp7584449.html

We are going to keep Micro-Manager free and open source, and plan to
support its development mainly through paid user support. Your
subscription to the support service will help ensure that Micro-Manager
remains a relevant and useful program and continues to improve.

Please take a moment to preview our preliminary support programs (subject to
change) here:

We want to ensure that these programs are truly useful to you, and would
like to get your feedback on how they are structured. Toward that end, we
would very much appreciate your participation in a short survey about these
programs and other aspects of the future of Micro-Manager.

Here is the link to the survey:

Thank you very much for spending a moment of your time on this!
Please also feel free to contact us directly with feedback at
[hidden email].

Please also forward this email to anybody you know who is a
Micro-Manager user but is not subscribed to this mailing list.


Best Regards,
The Micro-Manager Team
Mark Tsuchida, Chris Weisiger, Nico Stuurman
