BEP community meetings

Thank you!

Thank you all for a great 1st BEP community meeting! We had a total of 12 BEPs presenting their progress, questions and issues. We believe that these meetings are a great opportunity to accelerate the BEP process and learn from each other. We will have one meeting in each quarter and depending on the progress of each BEP we will select the presenters for the next meeting. This is mostly because we realized that we would like to have more time at the end for issue discussion and resolution.

Minutes and Slides

You can see the slides of the past meeting on Oct 1st 2026 here and the minutes of the meetings on HackMD.

Next Meeting

Our next BEP community meeting will be on January 21st 2027.

We ask you to add your BEP updates as well as the issues that you would like to have discussed before the call using this slide template.

Thank you and see you soon!

📣 NEW: BEP Community Meetings

We're starting a quarterly BEP Community Meeting to help extension proposals move faster, stay coordinated with each other, and get consistent support from the maintainers. Everyone is welcome and we especially encourage BEP leads and anyone with a major change request for an ongoing BEP to join.

What it is

A 90-minute online meeting, split two ways:

  • short (each ≤5 min) updates from active BEPs.
  • discussion and resolution of a few cross-cutting issues.

First meeting

October 1st 2026 3pm UTC, Zoom link

If you lead a BEP please add your update to the shared template before the call (Slide template). Only BEPs with changes or an ask will present live but every BEP should fill in the one-slide status so the community has the full picture.

Want an issue discussed? Nominate it using the label community-meeting on the respective BIDS repository on GitHub. The repo carrying the issue/ PR must be under the bids-standard GitHub organization, otherwise it won’t be added to the BIDS GitHub project from which maintainers will choose the issues to be discussed. Labels exist in all BIDS GitHub repos already.
