Preparation

  1. Please make sure that you are on the NA-MIC Project Week mailing list.
  2. May 08 and May 15 TCON DBPs ONLY at 3pm ET to discuss NA-MIC DBP Projects ONLY.
  3. May 22 TCON#1 at 3pm ET to discuss NA-MIC Engr Core Projects and Assign/Verify Teams
  4. May 29 TCON#2 at 3pm ET to discuss NA-MIC ALGORITHMS Core Lead Projects. Project leads should sign up for a slot here. Projects will be discussed in order of the signups.
  5. June 5 TCON#3 at 3pm ET to discuss NA-MIC EXTERNAL Collaborations. All NIH funded "collaborations with NCBC" leads should call. Project leads should sign up for a slot here. Projects will be discussed in order of the signups.
  6. June 12 TCON#4 at 3pm ET to discuss NA-MIC EXTERNAL Collaborations. All other collaboration leads should call. Project leads should sign up for a slot here. Projects will be discussed in order of the signups.
  7. June 19 TCON#5 at 3pm ET to tie loose ends. Anyone with un-addressed questions should call.
  8. By 3pm ET on June 12, 2008: Complete a templated wiki page for your project. Please do not edit the template page itself, but create a new page for your project and cut-and-paste the text from this template page. If you have questions, please send an email to tkapur at bwh.harvard.edu.
  9. By 3pm on June 19, 2008: Create a directory for each project on the NAMIC Sandbox (Zack)
    1. Commit on each sandbox directory the code examples/snippets that represent our first guesses of appropriate methods. (Luis and Steve will help with this, as needed)
    2. Gather test images in any of the Data sharing resources we have (e.g. the BIRN). These ones don't have to be many. At least three different cases, so we can get an idea of the modality-specific characteristics of these images. Put the IDs of these data sets on the wiki page. (the participants must do this.)
    3. Setup nightly tests on a separate Dashboard, where we will run the methods that we are experimenting with. The test should post result images and computation time. (Zack)
  10. Please note that by the time we get to the project event, we should be trying to close off a project milestone rather than starting to work on one...
