### Meeting Notes

#### Terminologies

- **Module Improvements:** Discussed potential enhancements to the Terminologies module. See the discussion here: [Slicer Issue #6975](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/issues/6975#issuecomment-2402467988).

- **Terminology, Color Table, and Segment Relationship:**

- **Handling Missing Terms:**

- **Displaying Color Tables in Terminology Contexts:**

- **Creating a “Short List” Color Table:**

- **MorphoDepo (MorphoCloud) Requirements:**

- **Using Uberon in Terminologies:**

- **Next Steps:**

#### Slicer & Trame

- **Trame Integration:**
  - Discussed the integration of [trame](https://kitware.github.io/trame/) with Slicer to support backend GPU rendering.

  - Render window content is converted into a compressed JPEG image, which is transmitted to the front end as a web application.

  - Transitioning to in-render window widgets would minimize dependencies on Qt.

  - Refactoring will be required to enable segmentation editor effects to function independently from Qt.

  - Progress related to Slicer refactoring is ongoing; see [Commits · AlexyPellegrini/Slicer · GitHub](https://github.com/AlexyPellegrini/Slicer/commits/slicer-as-a-lib)

  - On-going development of trame-based Slicer should be released open-source in the first quarter of 2025. For questions, reach out to @finetjul, @Thibault_Pelletier and @jcfr

#### Telemetry

- **Submitted Pull Requests:**
  - A pull request has been submitted for the [SlicerTelemetry repository](https://github.com/Slicer/SlicerTelemetry/pull/1).
  - Another pull request was submitted for the [slicer-usage-stats repository](https://github.com/Slicer/slicer-usage-stats/pull/1).
  - Both PRs are under review.

#### Slicer 5.8 Release

- The release status of version 5.8 will be discussed in the upcoming meeting on October 22nd.
