[This isn't specifically about DIPY, I've noticed the same thing in
other announcements]

That's nice, but what is DIPY?

Ok, so since the workshop is about ".., tools in structural and
diffusion imaging", DIPY is probably such a tool.
However, without this incidental announcement I wouldn't have any idea
what it is or if it would be worth my time clicking at any of the links.
I think it would be a good idea if software announcements would include
a single paragraph (or maybe just a single sentence) summarizing what
the software is and does.
