## Agenda

1. Pypi has accepted the [NiPreps organization](https://pypi.org/org/nipreps/)
1. Jon's paper has been featured by the diffusion MRI group at ISMRM
1. Finally heard a decision from Nat Prot on McKenzie's paper
    * Decision is accept, so long we change the format to "Review Tutorial".
      We're discussing the implications, but as long as it doesn't mean dramatic changes to the paper, we do not oppose to the editor's suggestion.
1. Boston Sprint wrap-up
1. dMRIPrep interest
    * We may have extended this community unknowingly: https://github.com/nipreps/dmriprep/issues/205
    * OE will coordinate with interested parties and Ted's group to wake up the revenant.

## Notes

### Boston Sprint wrap-up

* The hybrid hackathon worked much better this year than last year.
* Working on a small number of projects allowed us to make much more progress than last year.
* Feilong has had some issues with TemplateFlow, but everything else is working perfectly.
* fMRIPrep-extensions has two sMRIPrep PRs: one from Eilidh allowing T1w or T2w as primary anatomical and one from Taylor supporting session-wise anatomical processing.
    * Mathias will take over Taylor's PR.
* Eilidh is working on an expression of interest in NiPreps-extensions, which could get her funding to work on it.
* Chris has been working on purging fMRI-specific things from PET branch of fMRIPrep.
* Chris will push a new fMRIPrep release with bugfixes across packages.
* Chris will then move on to SDCFlows on rodents.
* Andre hasn't worked too much on fMRIPost-tedana, but he and Ashley are planning to work on it ~once a week.
    * Taylor will move fMRIPost-tedana repo from ME-ICA org to NiPreps org.

### dMRIPrep interest

* Taylor: I think it would be helpful to identify any points of divergence between dMRIPrep and QSIPrep.
* Taylor: We (Ted's team) are happy to work to support dMRIPrep derivatives in QSIRecon in any case.
