OHBM Best Practices Updates
April 12, John Piles says things are in progress - chairs JB Poline and other co-chair is organizing it.
OHBM Neurosalience Podcast
Peter agreed but we need to find a times for this, and we need to identify who would be the appropriate representative.
Topic Suggestion: discuss what’s new in BIDS and a high-level overview of BIDS.
Related Discussion: BIDS news (https://bids.neuroimaging.io/news.html) - this could be an additional avenue for sharing BIDS updates
We should use multiple avenues for sharing BIDS updates/news: podcast, website, publication (Russ is working on a ‘history’ of BIDS publication), twitter (let maintains and steering committee each take a month rotations for responsibility).
Suggestion - to make the BIDS landing page more active and include news updates.
OHBM townhall status
BIDS and BEP updates should be reported (used to be Franklin, maintainers can take this role)
Peer Herholtz will have updates on BIDS 'connectivity’ related BEPS
Due to changes in the OS-SIG Scheduling, the typical OHBM BIDS townhall may need to be a bit different than usual.
Franklin used to write the organizers requesting for an hour townhall, the steering committee (Cyril will work on finding a time for a BIDS townhall)
Suggestions: Submit a BIDS proposal for a townhall or symposium for next OHBM. (Kim will add a reminder in November to discuss and plan this.)
BIDS derivatives meeting
Invitations have/are going out. Website is being developed. About 25 attendees.
Cyril would like to send out an email with meeting goals and vision to help with structuring the meeting.
Possible a larger vision for how derivatives will be used
Ask for attendees to bring data examples to help with derivative development.
A current delay for derivatives is developing a validator.
Robert and Ariel: suggest reaching out to people in other fields for future direction for derivatives (how they use their data derivatives - astronomy, and possibly geosciences?)
BIDS 2.0 getting the ball rolling
This needs to happen - What should be included in BIDS 2.0 ?
There are currently many existing updates, can a group of people meet and discuss which points should be prioritized.
Address: what are the technical barriers with BIDS 1 and 1.2 to allow them to coexist, and we need to make sure that BIDS 2.0 will not break previous BIDS.
We need to establish how prior BIDSapps will handle BIDS2 data.
