CMake (and possible VTK/Paraview as well) is looking to add a policy for AI-assisted contributions:

> **[Verifying connection...](https://gitlab.kitware.com/craig.scott/cmake/-/compare/master...ai-policy?from_project_id=541)**

I wanted to discuss whether this policy would also work for Slicer

I would like to discuss continued to-do items for Qt6 build support including:

> <https://github.com/commontk/AppLauncher/pull/181#issuecomment-4015335810>
>
> @jcfr since this repo depends on https://github.com/jcfr/qt-static-build
> \- \[\] …Should we add a Qt 5.15 build for Windows to complete static builds across Linux/macOS/Windows?
> \- \[\] Would you be able to create a Qt6 static build?
> \- \[\] Should the qt-static-build repo be moved into the CTK GitHub organization for closer maintenance to ctkAppLauncher if it is the only repo using it?

# Extension Index down (Sam/JC)

Sam was able to reach Jc and get things fixed! (Maybe. Might have been a netlify glich)

- [Extension server is down - #8 by Sam\_Horvath](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/extension-server-is-down/46478/8)
- Need to improve the netlify setup for Slicer

# Alternative methods for hosting telemetry (Steve/Bernardo)

- Steve is using github repo to host data about user activty for SlicerMorphoDepot (or to handle issues globally instead of per repo of SlicerMorph organization)
- Similar pattern could be used for central telemetry repository

# Bernardo working on new project

- Slicer related work!

# Discussion of netlify and hosted databases (Andras)

# AI policy (Sam)

[CMake Policy in Progress](https://gitlab.kitware.com/craig.scott/cmake/-/compare/master...ai-policy?from_project_id=541)

- Should AI be allowed to be co-authors?
  - We have been allowing this so far
  - We don’t want authorship, but perhaps attribution

# Multi-place markups (Mauro)

- Discussed implementation and clipping/capping
- Limited number of cuts currently possible with PlaneCut tool of DynamicModeler without capping fails

# Qt6 Applauncher (James)

- [Add qt6 support by lassoan · Pull Request #181 · commontk/AppLauncher · GitHub](https://github.com/commontk/AppLauncher/pull/181#issuecomment-4015335810)
- Need to discuss with JC
