## Notes from May 3rd meeting

## Notes from April

### To do
- agree on schedule
- vision of the sprint
- open good first issues (GFIs)
- continue standardizing docstring format
- examples (e.g., duplicate two-sample tests)
- add references to docstrings
- look into method for skipping (1) docs build and (2) tests depending on contents of commit message so that GFIs don't clog CI
- have docs CI build require tests to pass. Problem is that docs are Circle, while other tests are either GitHub Actions or Azure
- advertise: https://github.com/nilearn/dev-days-2020/issues/9

### Topic ideas

- Barriers to adopting nilearn?
- BIDS compliance (invite Chris Markiewicz, Tal Yarkoni, Oscar Esteban, Alejandro de la Vega, Camille Maumet?)
- Website design
- html reports: demo and ask for feedback
- surface models, e.g. SurfaceMasker ; open discussion ; integration into GLM, Decoder etc. (Mathias Goncalves, Erin Dickie, )
- beyond human data: monkey, rats etc. (Horea Christian, SungHo Lee, Daniel Gomez)
- More general idea of setting up a space for packages with nilearn as a dependency to talk about best practices

### Nilearn twitter ?
Examples from MNE:
- MNE every push : https://twitter.com/mne_python?lang=fr
- MNE high-level : https://twitter.com/mne_news?lang=fr

Nilearn could aim to establish a similar high-level account
:sparkles: Nicolas to take on twitter !
