### Meeting Notes

#### SOFA

- **LapGym Overview** : LapGym is an open-source framework designed for Reinforcement Learning (RL) in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. More information can be found at the official [SOFA Framework website](https://www.sofa-framework.org/applications/plugins/lapgym/).

- **Paul’s Post-Doc** : Paul is set to begin a post-doctoral position at Johns Hopkins, which could lead to further research and collaboration opportunities.

- **Potential Applications** : There are potential applications for SlicerHeart in conjunction with SOFA and LapGym, which should be explored further.

#### NVAPI Integration

- The discussion focused on building NVAPI within the Slicer environment. Relevant resources include the [Slicer Discourse thread](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/how-to-build-nvidia-nvapi-in-slicer-environment/37771) and the official [NVIDIA Developer page](https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload#?search=nvapi).

#### MorphoDepot

- **GitHub Integration** : We discussed how to map GitHub operations to the collaborative segmentation process within MorphoDepot. Existing GitHub credentials support, particularly the [SlicerWizard’s GithubHelper.py](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/55563bc1ec41acb7cbb9e48543e93f364fcd9cba/Utilities/Scripts/SlicerWizard/GithubHelper.py#L61), may be reused for this purpose.

#### New Icons Proposal
