Arrival: Morning of Monday, December 15. Leaving: Afternoon on Tuesday, December 16.

SUMMARY AND ACTION ITEMS


ACTION UPDATE

Minutes

  • General issues:
    • Current idea: Source updated within UNC NeuroLib - Releases at NITRIC
    • Steve: presentation of ideas to load/unload Slicer extensions
    • It would be important to have easy access to both Nightly and Release versions
    • NAMIC Wiki for roadmap description
    • Slicer Wiki for modules, NITRIC links to this documentation
    • Population handling
      • XNAT browse within Slicer
      • createx xcat => included in Batchmake for running on population
      • This should be used for the current development of ARCTIC population phase


  • Upload of a module

Suggested Hotels

Nice for walking to campus & Franklin Street, but rather expensive:

Best suggestion (needs taxi to campus/UNC Hospitals & Franklin Street):

Engineering Attendees (projected)

Will Schroeder, Steve Pieper, (possibly) Jim Miller, Julien Jomier

Place

  • University of North Carolin, Chapel Hill
  • Dunphy Conference Room (see also map)
  • 3rd Floor Medical School Wing C (next to Neuro Image Research and Analysis Lab)
  • There is very limited parking on campus for visitors, so car rental is not necessarily encouraged, but nearest parking is in Dogwood UNC Hospital Patient & Visitor Parking House (see map)
  • Transportation from Airport
    • Taxi ride to UNC Hospitals: 30-35 USD, use map or call Martin (919-260-6674) to get to the conference room
