Dear members of the Project Week community,

Tomorrow (Tue Nov 3, 10am Boston time) we’ll have our next preparation meeting for Project Week #34. Here’s the link to the zoom session, which will remain the same for all other preparation meetings:

> **[Join our Cloud HD Video Meeting](https://etsmtl.zoom.us/j/86211702920?pwd=TEl0ZTFDam90WVN5bjZhR05kNVRVZz09)**
>
> Zoom is the leader in modern enterprise video communications, with an easy, reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, chat, and webinars across mobile, desktop, and room systems. Zoom Rooms is the original software-based conference...

To start the meeting, Nicholas Sofroniew, Imaging Tech Lead working on the Napari viewer at Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), will present the Napari project. This is a first step towards exchange of ideas and experiences between the two communities.

Cheers.

Simon Drouin and Tina Kapur

Project Week#34 will be held Dec 14-18, 2020 **on the internet**. Please look here for additional details: [https://projectweek.na-mic.org/PW34\_2020\_Virtual/](https://projectweek.na-mic.org/PW34_2020_Virtual/)

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, Project Week 34 will exceptionally take place online. Given this format, the community will be focusing on demos and dissemination of Slicer based projects, which will make this edition a perfect opportunity to introduce new members to the community.

_Preparation_ : To prepare, we will be holding weekly meetings at 10am on Tuesdays, starting **October 13, 2020** and ending on December 8. Please join at [this link](https://etsmtl.zoom.us/j/86211702920?pwd=TEl0ZTFDam90WVN5bjZhR05kNVRVZz09) if you have a project that you would like to present during project week.

_Background_ : The Project Week is a week-long hackathon of hands on activity in which medical image computing researchers create solutions using the open source image computing platform, 3D Slicer, and VTK, ITK, CMake, and CDash libraries as well as OHIF, Cornerstone, dcmjs, vtkjs, itkjs, DICOMweb, Girder and related web technologies. Participants work collaboratively on solutions that lie at the interfaces of the fields of computer science, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and medicine. In contrast to conferences and workshops where the primary focus is to report results, the objective of the Project Week is to provide a venue for creators of medical image computing open-source software creators to collaboratively work.
