[Neuroimaging] Planning for data formats - upcoming journal club

[Guillaume Flandin]

Hi All,

Also interested in attending, time permitting. There has been many
discussions on this topic over the years across several platforms - one
of them is captured in Anderson's document but I could also remember
this one:
  https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/issues/197
Compression was also discussed in the early days of BIDS but it seems it
was a group email exchange with no public archive.

Best,
Guillaume.
