[IGSTK-Developers] preliminary schedule for Jan 4-5 planning meeting for next phase of IGSTK

[Kevin Cleary]

Hi everyone:

 

As most of you know, we will have a planning meeting at Georgetown on Jan
4-5 for the next phase of IGSTK. A start at the proposed schedule is below
my signature. We will discuss this at the tcon this Thursday at 1 pm, and
any feedback is welcome.

 

As far as the contract goes, I have been told by NIBIB that the earliest
start date for the new money is February 1st. It will then take me up to a
month to get subcontracts issued. So my guess is that we will not start work
again in any serious way until March or later. For now we are in maintenance
mode, trying to finish a few things and the book before the SPIE Medical
Imaging meeting in February.

 

For the planning meeting, I suggest we have a core group of the key
developers come to Georgetown and others can teleconference in. Right now, I
am hoping that Luis, David, Kevin Gary, and perhaps Andinet can come, while
Julien, Stephen, Rick, and Will can be available by teleconference for parts
of the meeting. I am also hoping that our Norway partners can come or
teleconference in. And I will invite Terry Yoo, Peter Kazanzides, and Noby
Hata to join us in person or by phone for parts of the meeting in an
advisory capacity (sorry, this may be the first you guys are hearing about
this;).

 

So please see the details below my signature and let me know if you have any
comments or suggestions. Once I clean this up some more, I will post it on
the Wiki.

 

Thanks

 

Kevin
