== List of Attendees ==

The list of participants for this workshop is [[Dissemination:Workshop_Dec9:10_Attendees_List|here]]. The workshop is now closed. We appreciate the enthusiastic responses we got for the workshop, and will be arranging a followup workshop for the many others who we were not able to accomodate this time. Stay tuned for the dates for the following workshop.

<br />

== Preparation for Workshop -- ''Important Information for all attendees'' ==

All attendees are required to complete the following items prior to the workshop. Support will be provided as requested.

* Email [[Dissemination:Workshop_Dec9-10_Boston_Info_Needed_from_Attendees|answers to some questions about your programming background, NAMIC project, development environment etc.]] to ''Tkapur"at"epiphanymedical.com'' as soon as possible. This will help us customize the workshop to the goals and needs of the group.
* Please install ITK and Slicer as soon as possible, preferably on a machine that you will be bringing to the workshop, and definitely before the course.
** Install ITK using the online ITK Tutorial [http://www.itk.org/CourseWare/Training/GettingStartedI-WebPage/img0.html Getting Started I]. This tutorial includes how to download, configure and install ITK, as well as how to run the first minimal examples.
** After installing ITK, download [[Image:ITKExercises.tgz|Image:ITKExercises.tgz]] that will be used in the workshop.
** Install Slicer using the online tutorial [http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Slicer:Slicer2.4_Getting_StartedGetting Started].

We will be happy to assist anybody who may encounter difficulties in the process. As first point of contact, send an email to the NAMIC-developers mailing list (namic-developers "at" na-mic.org) which will be closely monitored by Luis Ibanez, Steve Pieper and other experts in ITK and Slicer. If everyone has completes these tutorials successfully we will be able to focus on how to focus on showing you how to create applications with ITK and Slicer during the workshop.

We will be available at 1249 Boylston on the afternoon before the workshop for anyone who has been unable to do the installation by that time.
