Notes from the meeting

## Windows factory machine updates (Ebrahim)

- We’d like to clear out test errors before the Qt6 switch so we want to fix the auto-login issues.
- New account was created and ready to have auto-login enabled, but we have to set up the files and nightly tasks.
- It should be easy because most of the setup in up in `C:\D` and not user space. Will update [dashboard scripts repo](https://github.com/Slicer/DashboardScripts/) with any changes after.

## `pip_install` changes (Ebrahim)

- [Slicer#9010](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/9010)
- Planned updates until it’s up for review:
  - type annotations
  - prompt to restart if it’s needed in `pip_ensure`
  - try out on nnunet extension as a test case

## Disabling MRMLIDIO (David, Andras)

Now [disabling MRMLIDIO by default](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/9023). What it does we can do in Python.

## Telemetry (Bernardo, Sam)

- Sam is planning to get the Telemetry site sorted out soon
- WSGI necessary to serve the application; KW IT team will handle deployment
- Thoughts on [opentelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/what-is-opentelemetry/)?
  - Seems over-complicated for our needs.

## Slicer Portal project (Andras, Thibault)

- Working with a web dev to create a portal where users can log in and launch Slicer Trame instances, and upload or share data
- Intended to be a public demo
- Discussed on cost and hosting, what would be in the first iteration
- Performance bottleneck in SlicerTrame is mainly CPU due to the need for jpeg serialization. Discussed future optimizations that are coming.

## Add to SlicerSOFA team (Rafael)

- SlicerSOFA repo has [SlicerSOFA mainteners group](https://github.com/orgs/Slicer/teams/slicer-sofa-maintainers), we should add @bakpaul to it.
- (Who can do it?) (looks like Rafeal can do it)
