(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](https://opavote.com/) 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, etc) - We currently have: https://bids-standard.github.io/bids-starter-kit/contact.html (which might not be sufficient) - could be something to include on the new BIDS website **BIDS Virtual Meeting?** - Should BIDS move their annual meeting "roundtable" outside of OHBM? - Chris will bring the dicsussion to the Maintainers. :closed_book: Tasks -- ==Importance== (1 - 5) / Name ### Steering Group: - [x] ==4== Email INCF about BIDS booth / Kim - ### Maintainers: - [ ] ==3== Follow up on where to hold next BIDS roundtable / Chris M - [x] ==2== Can Eric sit in on an upcoming Steering group meetting so he can provide updates on the new BIDS website?
