HackMD transition

  • We are going to try this out and see how it goes
  • Will this go into a GitHub repo in a manner that we can browse in the future?
  • Can we retain links to minute docs in the Google Drive, like it has been for Gdocs?
  • Lets use this for the next 3 meetings and determine if we stick with it.

OHBM town hall timeline

  • June 23-27, 2024 Seoul

  • Lets work backwards from estimated June 27 Townhall meeting

  • BIDS maintainers report: historically a powerpoint presenting BEP updates

  • get updates from BEP leads

  • highlight the Open Science Prize and recent BIDS publications

  • Presentation should take no longer than 30 minutes to allow for more discussion afterwards

  • Should we reorganize the structure of the presentation into BEP categories?

    • strive to highlight what has changed over the past year

    • include version updates

    • list new BEPs (since the last townhall)

      • BEP 42: EMG
      • BEP 43: term mapping

    • include BIDS 2.0 (Yarik added TODO slide)

    • highlight new contributors

    • may be mention the theme of "year of adoption", suggest audience can support adoption

    • audience involvement, however OHBM will likely request ppt slides in advance

    • include survey results from community challenges/barriers to BIDS adoption

  • We should reduce the overall number of slides,

  • how do discuss improving the diversity of BIDS contributors and community

    • We need this at all levels: adoptions, contributors, BEP leads, and governance

    • can be more inclusive by having different skillsets within the BIDS community (not just coders)

    • we could use the location of the meeting as a way to improve the diversity

    • we should address multiple areas of diversity: gender, location, background of the people (e.g. computer science, medical doctors, neuroscience) and this at different levels of BIDS (users, contributors, BEP leads, steering & maintainers) -- Camille: I am happy to contribute here

  • should we order BIDS stickers and stickers for posters using BIDS

  • will BIDS townhall be hybrid?

  • Does BIDS have standard flyers for OHBM? Yarik volunteered to share his Dandi booth to host BIDS

BIDS 2.0

  • INCF abstract

  • Should this be a BEP or Working Group?

  • See formal process on BIDS website for establishing such a working group.

    • this is separate from the BEP working group

  • this is different than a typical BEP and should get wider community input

  • governance doc says that a working group should advance the BIDS community, not the standard

  • Stefan will ask the maintainers for their opinions if it should be BEP or Working Group
