  • Are there additional projects/initiaves that could be part of DANDI?

CogSci

New meeting in Boston, not sure that there will be BIDS representation there.

Other maintainer Questions

  • Would be good to start OHBM prep further in advance (~6mo?), including assigning tasks. (This year was a bit rushed.)

    • need a more clear outline of duties for Steering Group and Maintainers
    • Should BIDS Roundtable meeting go back to the OSR (to ensure hybrid engagement) or stick with OHBM to be included in the program
    • Considering the upcoming Brisbane location, there may be a higher need for hybrid/virtual engagement
    • Does BIDS townhall need to happen at OHBM? Or could it be a stand alone meeting.
  • $20 for Opavote for election.

    • steering group supports, Ariel (Yarik as backup) will support financially.
  • Somewhat inchoate coordination woes:

    • "we are seeing more requests, is there a coordinator role already that can respond? If not, how should the general inquiries be routed?"

    • Could the contributing page help identify where to direct queries (e.g. a contact for interviews, press...)? We currently have a contact page on the new website (which might not be sufficient)

BIDS Virtual Meeting?

  • Should BIDS move their annual meeting "roundtable" outside of OHBM?
  • Chris will bring the dicsussion to the Maintainers.
