Opportunity to "plug" scipy
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d7181dada37a6686dccb74264050f8ea.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hi, folks. In trying to drum up funding for the doc project, one of the orgs I contacted - The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine - invited us to present at the SIIM 2010 open source plugfest at their Annual Meeting in June. If people are interested, they should probably coordinate efforts, i.e., assemble one team and one presentation/booth. Anyway, here's the URL: http://www.siimweb.org/open and here's the contact info: Anna Marie Mason, MS,CAE Executive Director Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) 19440 Golf Vista Plaza, Suite 330 Leesburg, VA 20176 703-723-0432 x 306 amason@siimweb.org "Tell her David Goldsmith sent you," as they say. (I'll email her separately to let her know that someones may be emailing her separately about this.) DG

I can't help, but if you are interested in usecases, there is a growing community around Python in neuroimaging, http://nipy.sourceforge.net/ making use of numpy and scipy. Gaël

Good to know. (Unfortunately, I'm too distant from the field to feel comfortable being a presenter - though it occurs to me that I could certainly coordinate a team and/or be the POC between such a team and SIIM - but hopefully your observation means that a team will come forward; do you happen to know how well said "growing community" is represented on this list? Should I cross-post on the numpy list?) DG

It's a bunch of overworked researchers trying to develop quality software that their scientific community can more or less apprehend. Some of them do follow this mailing list, but I won't give them up, as I understand that they might not have much time. Gaël

In addition to NIPY, InVesalius [1] could be presented.... InVesalius is an open source 3D medical imaging reconstruction software. It was developed using Python and NumPy, among other open source technologies. For the last 6 years I've been working on this project, with medical imaging and Python... It would be a pleasure to contribute to the presentation. Kind regards, Tatiana [1] http://svn.softwarepublico.gov.br/trac/invesalius On 22 March 2010 18:12, Gael Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux@normalesup.org> wrote:

Let me contact Ms. Mason and try to get an idea of a commitment level (at this point, I don't even know if she was just offering the opportunity to make a presentation, to have a booth, or what.) DG
