Attendees: (please add your name if it is missing) Tina Kapur, Steve Pieper, Jeffrey Grethe, Michael Pan, Jags, Will Schroeder, Andy Cedilnik, Luis Ibanez,

Highlights:

• Tracking downloads
  • Steve Pieper - is there a way to collect more complete registration information from people downloading and installing software (e.g. Slicer) involved in NAMIC. For example, using a user's email to download contributed data and tools.
    • This service needs to be outside of the Wiki
    • Should be failry easy to setup

• September 8th
  • Core 3 PIs have agreed to attend the engineering T-CON
  • Need to determine how to cover highlights of the programming week

• Sept 26-28 meeting
  • Primary topic will probably be DTI module and diffusion MR
  • UCI & Dartmouth working with DTI module for a current on-going study

• Update on Slicer activity
  • A lot of current work on DTI and fMRI modules
  • Need to think through co-development efforts in maintaining the 2.x Slicer and developments on top of this platform while moving to Slicer 3.0

• Logistics on September Meeting Room
  • Room (1249 Boylston) reserved for the meeting

• Setting up a test pipeline with ITK module
  • Steve Pieper suggested using the example from the Wiki
  • Michael agreed that this would be a good case
  • One issue raised was problems with ITK on Windows
    • Issue with path delimiters in running ITK module through LONI pipeline on Windows
    • Could it be a problem with the compiler (e.g.Cygwin vs. Visual Studio)
    • Discussion should be continued off-line
  • While Windows issues are being worked out - the UCLA group should setup the ITK Pipeline using Linux

• ITK 2.2 release is next week!
