Introduction

Date: December 10-14, 2012

Location: | Hotel i Portici in Via Indipendenza , Bologna, Italy, Sala Montagnola (Room)

Goal: A follow on to the wildly successful previous hackfests!

Requirements: Attendees must be willing to spend their time during the event writing ctk code that contributes to the main ctk roadmap. This means spending the week immersed in C++, Qt, DCMTK, CMake, and related technologies. People who do not feel qualified for this task are politely not invited :)

Group size: Maximum 20 participants so we can have a manageable working meeting. The organizing committee will invite and select participants based on input from TheTeam.

Site Hosts: Alessandro Chiarini, Daniele Giunchi

Organizing Committee: Ivo Wolf, Stephen Aylward, Steve Pieper

Future Events: Future hackfests will be announced in advance, and we hope lots of people will be interested in participating. The venue and activities at future hackfests will be determined based on the number of active participants in the project. We welcome participation via the CTK email lists, the source code repository, and this website.

Attendees

  • So far we have received confirmation for the following people (in no particular order).

WE HAVE REACHED THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTECIPANT - REGISTRATION CLOSED - 16 PARTECIPANTS

Preparation

Developers should bring a laptop with the current CTK source code downloaded and built.

Use the CTK developers mailing list to discuss build issues and topics for ongoing work.

Phone conferences have been scheduled in the weeks leading to the event:

  • To be announced

Topics and Projects

DICOM Application Hosting

DICOM Database and Networking

QAT

Quality Assurance Toolkit -> how to integrate in CTK

Widgets

Tests Framework

Try QtTesting with CTK applications

Build Systems & Software process

  • Update to latest DCMTK
    • includes dcmrt
    • need to pick a commit to standardize on
    • investigate shared/static library building. (Static instances of classes getting destructed in wrong order)
    • incorporate version checking
      • build ctk against head or snapshot version
  • Prepare Debian packaging (Marco)
    • Resolve outstanding issues
    • Make CTK also build with latest stable DCMTK release (3.6.0)
  • Evaluate Qt5 (Sascha)


    • Release a version of CTK (Work on policy this week and maybe release this week).

Command Line Modules

  • Extract CLI interface
    • Unify VPH and Slicer refactoring
  • Qt SEM XML widget
  • Follow on interoperability tests done in CLI_In_Context
  • Refine CLI XML standard
    • Text format for description/help/acknowledgement/resources: plain text ? html ? structured text ? github markup ?
