- Ju-Chi Yu (From the OSSIG)
- Robert OostenVeld (for the MED file format discussion)

## MED file format

- MED is a new file format, a clinical format
- Nominally an update of the MEF3 format which is widely supported

- The file formats are a little different, there are no common readers, not yet supported by the community.

- File format may be a privatized from a clinical neurologist (MEF3, MET stat), it's not a free format.

- YH: Since its not free, do we need to support them?

- RO: This is a newer format that is potentially being added last minute, has not yet been community vetted.

- YH: Should we establish requirement for adding a new file format? For example, adoption.

- RO: Wide adopt is a current criteria, and its not yet met.
It should also add additional value, and that has not yet been established.

- CP: We should establish a procedure for adding new formats based on this request.

- CM: Where should the procedure be established?

- others: Where other guidelines are provided on the BIDS website.

- CP: We should not support this file format because it does not meet criteria,
we should share the criteria with them.

- RO: suggested responding that the steering group choose not to include it now,
but that it could be included in BIDS 2.0.

- **Steering Group decicions: to not include at this time.**

## [OpenScience Room](https://ohbm.github.io/osr2024/) at OHBM

- wanting to have a BIDS opener at OHBM
- there will be a platform for the town hall this year
- either crowdcast or zoom, decision has not been made yet.
With zoom you can do youtube streaming at the same time.

- OSR there was not a good attendance last year, they are looking for more engagement

- Would like for a 20-30 minute BIDS summary.

- Who from BIDS will be at OHBM that can present?

- Remi mentioned that BIDS townhall will likely not be during OHBM
but the OSR can support this using their platform.

- Franco will be attending, Kim Ray will attend.

- CP: yes BIDS will have a representative that present during the opener, the person can be identified later.

- CamM: townhall online is more inclusive and important,
can the OSR detail more about what they are expecting BIDS to present?

- JY: not a beginner, looking for a BIDS update and where the community can contribute.
They are planning about a 10-20 minute slot, but could have up to 45 mins.

- AR: since a townhall is already being planned, a shorter presentation seems appropriate.

- JK: suggests to condense the BIDS townhall for the BIDS opener

- JY: they are planning to bring the hacking space back to the OSR
which might have been why last year's OSR was less successful.

- CM: when should we let OSSIG know how long BIDS would like to present?

- JY: December.

- CamM: 20 minutes is reasonable

- JY: OSSIG will provide the platform for BIDS townhall, the platform is not yet determined but they will support.

- CamM: we should have/create an email account - the steering group needs to have a mechanism for communication (other than slack) (Camille will do, added to the todo items).

## New Steering Group Member

- Welcome Franco Pestilli!

- Which accounts does Franco need to join/gain access to?
- slack, hackmd, google drive, mattermost, github teams (owner permissions - Chris M will do this)

- share the source for maintainer updates with Franco

- NIH DCC - BIDS will need microsopy.

## Additional Discussion

- we decided to move to mattermost a while ago but never adopted it, let's do it now.
- AR added steering group members, should all members be allowed to be in the group?
- CM: supports all SG members, we will move forward with all steering group members.
