#### **BioMedisa**

- Discussed [https://biomedisa.info/](https://biomedisa.info/) and its relevance to Slicer.

#### MorphoDepot

- Explored options for **data organization and versioning** :
  - **git-lfs** for managing large files.
  - **[DVC](https://dvc.org/)** for dataset versioning and tracking.
  - **Hugging Face** as a potential hosting solution.
  - **[Open Science Framework (OSF)](https://libraries.mit.edu/data-management/store/osf/)**

#### Segment Editor Effect & Thresholding Preview Warning

- The **Threshold Preview effect** in the **Segment Editor** throws a warning when switching to **Grid Slice Layout**.
- See [SegmentEditorThresholdEffect.py#L811](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/05e03affb0c0eebde451d452c36fb2d84a5828f6/Modules/Loadable/Segmentations/EditorEffects/Python/SegmentEditorEffects/SegmentEditorThresholdEffect.py#L811).
- **Proposed Fix** : If no volume is shown, the preview should not be displayed to avoid unnecessary warnings.

#### Thick Slab Reconstruction

- Reviewed updates on the **Thick Slab Reconstruction feature**.
- **Relevant Discussion** : [https://discourse.slicer.org/t/new-feature-thick-slab-reconstruction-from-slice-controllers-and-views/32432/10](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/new-feature-thick-slab-reconstruction-from-slice-controllers-and-views/32432/10).
- See `vtkMRMLSliceLogic::UpdateReconstructionSlab` in [vtkMRMLSliceLogic.cxx#L989-L1023](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/05e03affb0c0eebde451d452c36fb2d84a5828f6/Libs/MRML/Logic/vtkMRMLSliceLogic.cxx#L989-L1023).

#### Slicer Support & Resource Allocation

- **Challenge** : How can we better allocate resources to review and follow up on **Discourse requests**?
- **Proposed Solutions** :
  - Discussed the idea of creating a **foundation** to manage support, but noted that it would require significant administrative effort.
  - **Immediate Action** :
    - Create **GitHub issues** to track support requests.
    - Explicitly mention which issues will be addressed to improve transparency and prioritization.
