[datahub-discuss] Help required

Fri Apr 10 19:14:09 UTC 2015

Hi Michel,

As I've just taken a position building repositories for large biomedical data (based on iRods and Cassandra), I suspect my employer wouldn't take lightly to me contributing to something that could be seen to be competitive :| 

I'll leave it to Rufus, Steven et al to arrange and take it forward. I'm sure a community call to help save Datahub would be a really good idea though.

Regards

Ross.
