Meeting Notes

Qt6 Transition

• The transition to Qt6 is underway, led by @jcfr.
• For progress and technical details, refer to the Project Week 43 notes.

Icon Updates

• @SamHorvath is coordinating the ongoing icon refresh effort.

  • Additional icons may be needed. Coordination with @wenples is recommended for design input.

• See related Project Week 43 notes.

VTK 9.5 Update

• Slicer is being updated to use slicer-v9.5.0-2025-06-19-e70c856bd. See PR-8427 frmo @jamesobutler

• Evaluate backporting MR-12224 for improved behavior or fixes.

SlicerLibs & Trame Integration

• Segment Editor Effects:

  • Discussed refactoring to decouple logic from Qt.
  • Agreed that transitioning to a displayable manager-based infrastructure would be the most sustainable solution.

• Layout Manager:

  • On the trame-slicer side, a factory mechanism has been implemented to streamline component creation and integration.

• Wheels & Extension Discovery:

  • As a proof of concept, alexy.pellegrini and @Thibault_Pelletier developed a mechanism to allow feature discovery upon installation, enhancing modularity and dynamic integration.

Telemetry

• The SlicerTelemetry extension is now being integrated into the Slicer ecosystem.

  • See: PR #2170 – ExtensionsIndex

• Current backend for data collection (testing phase):

Bagdes

• We also discussed which badges, created mainly with shields.io, would make Slicer extensions (or other open-source projects) have a README.md with more aesthetic and professional appearance.
  See BoneReconstructionPlanner extension as example and the related Project Week page

[pieper (Steve Pieper (Isomics, Inc.))]

Yes, and related to what @mau_igna_06 mentioned we discussed if the extension cmake should have a dedicated entry for html that would be rendered on the extension manager page or if we should put html directly in the extension description text. Html is required for displaying the badges. For now the badges can be in the README.md of the extension repository.
