## Agenda

1. *MRIQC* under very active development:
    * Target: OE's oral at ISMRM (May 7, 2024)
    * Released 23.1.0 and a 24.0.0rc1 (probably 24.0.0rc2 by the time of the meeting).
        * Had to activate 2 factor authentification for the nipreps user in Pypi - 
    * PRs of particular interest:
        * [#1239](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1239) changing *PyBIDS*' `BIDSLayout.__repr__()` -- great speed-up without cost to *MRIQC*.
        * [#1238](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1238) revised logging, now creating a log under `<output_dir>/logs/mriqc.log` and writing messages with colors on stdout.
            * [Example of logs in standard output](https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/nipreps/mriqc/1211/workflows/8fae8076-6b3d-40fe-8c51-f6c5fb8301a9/jobs/7321/parallel-runs/0/steps/0-110)
            * [Example of file stored under `logs/`](https://output.circle-artifacts.com/output/job/cdb97ddc-78ae-42af-9c4e-feeb05d30637/artifacts/0/tmp/t1w/derivatives/logs/mriqc.log)
        * A few new DWI metrics ([#1233](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1233), [#1229](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1229), [#1228](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1228), [#1227](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1227), [#1226](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1226), [#1225](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1225), [#1224](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1224))
    * Migrated to ruff.
    * Added exclusion of short DWI runs ([#1240](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1240)).
      There is a related PR by Chris for BOLD ([#1120](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc/pull/1120), however, we got stuck there with the datalad node).
2. *eddymotion*
    * Improvements to packaging, linting, etc. by Elodie and Jon Haitz.
3. Hackathon projects - OE has been brainstorming this morning, see https://hackmd.io/@NiPreps-technical-monitoring/2024-hackathon-agenda/edit
    * The idea behind the new approach to the brainstorming is to focus more on what kind of *teams* we can build and creating *working packages* that are realistic and of interest to those teams (or sub-teams).
