# NiPreps Roundup (bi-monthly) :::info Date: April 26, 2023 Time: 5.00pm UTC -- [click to see your timezone](https://arewemeetingyet.com/New%20York/2023-04-26/12:00/NiPreps%20Roundup%20(bi-monthly)) Zoom link: please request to be added to the event messaging to \<nipreps@gmail.com\> ::: ## Agenda 1. **Approval of the Governance documents**. We will proceed to *pass* the first version of the Governance documents, establishing how the *NiPreps* community is organized, describing how it communicates internally, and anticipating how decisions are to be made. The Governance documents are maintained in the [`nipreps/GOVERNANCE`](https://github.com/nipreps/GOVERNANCE) repository. Please make all the suggestions (as PRs) you may have before April 25, 23:59 PST so that they may be considered as part of the voting. 2. **Election of the Steering Committee**. The *Acting Steering Committee* will propose a first *Steering Committee* of five members drawn from the MAINTAINERS list of main projects (see list in the [minutes of the previous Roundup meeting](https://hackmd.io/OV64B4QySaSNqiata8AxKQ)). Please, contact us as soon as possible if you want to be part of the *Acting Steering Committee* or be proposed to be part of the first SC. 3. ***NiPreps* Hackathons**. We will describe the status on the organization of the two hackathons, attached to ISMRM and OHBM. 1. ISMRM, Toronto, June 3-8 - one-day hackathon on Friday 9th. Thanks to Erin Dickie, it will take place at: :::info Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health 12t floor 250 College Street (College and Spadina) Toronto ON Canada M5T 1R8 ([map](https://goo.gl/maps/J7y52WAgEZMpb4cq7)) ::: 2. OHBM, Montreal, July 22-26 - three-day hackathon embedded within the BrainHack (BrainHack is July 19-21). :::info 51 Sherbrooke St W, Montreal, QC, Canada. ([map](https://goo.gl/maps/GNJNutY9uvZEFXTRA)) ::: The idea would be to repeat the approach of OHBM 2022, and start defining a number of projects ahead of time to be started with ISMRM's hackathon and continued during OHBM's. These projects will have a project leader, who will make sure of keeping track of all team members, fill in issues on GH, assist the team in defining a project's roadmap, coordinating videocalls, prepare testbed data, etc. to ensure the projects make good progress. Please, use the subsection below to make your comments/proposals for projects and anything regarding the approach. We have also drafted a registration form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf6dD1iLfRV4xKx6yfvXN1JsHyajFzU90w15Rq0p_X2qhcH5A/viewform?usp=sf_link) for the participants. Please, have a look and send us your feedback. ### NiPreps hackathons - projects / approach brainstorming Please feel free to suggest/comment here: https://github.com/orgs/nipreps/projects/8/views/2 ## Suggestions / TBD Please add here topics you want to bring up or that you feel we missed in the list above.
