* The goals of the CommonTK are to:
** provide a unified set of basic features for use in medical imaging using '''BSD''' style licenses
** facilitate the exchange and combination of code and data
** document, integrate, and adapt successful solutions
** avoid duplication of code and data
** continuously extend to new tasks within the scope of the toolkit (medical imaging) without burdening existing tasks 
Past meetings: [[Events:CTK-Workshop-June-2009|initial meeting in Heidelberg in June 2009]], [[Events:CTK-Workshop-September-2009|second meeting]] in Oxford, UK in September, [[Events:CTK-Workshop-Chicago-2009|third meeting]] in Chicago, USA in November.

CTK is a pro-tempore group of like minded technically oriented software tool builders. We expect to release a first version of CTK within a year. If you are interested to learn more, please contact Hans Peter Meinzer or Ron Kikinis.

=Schedule=
'''Sunday, Feb 14'''
*Time:  3:20 PM – 7:20 PM
*Venue:  SPIE Medical Imaging, Town and Country Resort, San Diego
*Date:  Sunday, February 14, 2010
*Room:  tbd

=Detailed Agenda=
* Toolkit interoperability
** Discuss strategies for common base. Suggested approach:
*** Today: collect a list of possible common features in two levels:
**** base features: CTK core (e.g. memory management, event mechanism, etc)
**** advanced features: optional CTK modules (e.g. DICOM, image data management, visualization, etc)
*** In future tech meetings: 
**** each participant summarizes his approach regarding these features
**** identification of those features that are most similar
**** suggest a common approach
*** Plan the programming activities of the first tech meeting (hackfest)
** New common functionality:
*** DICOM: Definition of features (e.g., import/export, non-image types, workflow support, application hosting, etc)
** Discuss goals for bridges and adaptors:
*** do we want to start integrating specific platforms?
* Definition of next steps, esp. tech meetings. Suggestion:
** inventory meetings to identify most similar features
** hackfest meetings to boost prototypic implementation
* Update on funding efforts
