Introduction
Date: May 20-24, 2013
Location: Kingston, Ontario, Canada. In a classroom at Queens University.
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: Gabor Fichtinger, Csaba Pinter, Andras Lasso
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.

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

- loaded into slicer for manipulation
- changed data detected automatically
- TODO: data sent back to host
- TODO: act on bringToFront events (includes resizing)
- pushed corresponding CTK-based MITK hosted/host application
- Started to develop integration tests
- Plans
- finish data return to host by end of next hackfest ;)
- Interoperability testing of CTK with other Application Hosting code
- Lawrence to test CTK code against the XIP hosting implementation
- Testing framework to be continued
DICOM Database and Networking
- Review implementation issues when using CTK DICOM
- Discuss DICOM-RT for CTK
- Discuss DICOM Export options
- CLI outputs converted into real DICOM
- RT and other non-imaging types
- GUI Issues
- Lower-level dcmrt issues, possible use of DKFZ toolkit
- Use of various tools (VTK, ITK, Plastimatch), validation

- issue #331 - to be completed soon by Andreas
- issue #332 - ctkDICOMTableManager to control layouts (also Andreas)
- issue #276 - fix up RT use cases (Andras and Csaba)
- Review naming View vs. Widget
- Look into re-using http://www.commontk.org/index.php/File:CtkSearchBox3.png
- Marco is making ctkDICOM2
Widgets
- Spin box development [5]
ctkDICOMModel and display of real-world patient data (RT special cases for example)-- Compare widget plans with current set.
- Qt5 Compatibility?
Working on VTK / Qt5 compatibility- VTK6 topic : http://review.source.kitware.com/#/t/2803
- Results
- Miklos and Julien developed plan for resolving spin box features: there will be a ctkDoubleSpinBox with new precision features migrated from current ctkSpinBox and Miklos's changes to expose more of the QSpinBox features.
- Jc was Qt5+VTK6 issues and plans to backport them to VTK5.10
Tests Framework
- Qt testing framework
- Checkpoint verification
- Possibly help debugging when a test is failing and fixing a test
- Check log for warnings and errors
- Integrate with Error Log widget and the app launcher (but won't work on mac)
- Suggest as something for student at CREATIS
- Rotating log files
- capturing screen during test to help diagnose failures
- capturing all output to log files and flushing
- report crash utility for user to send all files to file issue
- auto-detect crashes using some kind of token
- track the exact version of libraries and stack traces (platform specific) Look into google crashpad.
- Review squish video: http://www.froglogic.com/squish/gui-testing/squish-qt-webinar-qanda.php
- Results & Plans
- CREATIS group attended hangout and plans to contribute to QtTesting
Build Systems & Software process
DCMTK build issues [6] [7]Fixed by 74b4b07b9- A drop-in CMake module allowing to easily setup Superbuild project.
- Consolidate CTK, Slicer, .. approach
- Collection of "External_XXX.cmake" file that could easily be re-used ? (See https://github.com/BRAINSia/NAMICExternalProjects)
Finalize work related to qRestAPI project (pending since Bologna hackfest)History cleaned and pushed: https://github.com/commontk/qRestAPI- Results
- Fixed and tested the DCMTK build issues
- Windows build issues identified for PythonQt on windows vs 2010/2012 (include order of std vector header)
- Still some more issues, likely also to do with include order
Command Line Modules
- Using CLI XML to build stand-alone widget [8][9]
- Contribute Slicer fixes to CLI infrastructure. See https://github.com/jcfr/CTK/tree/279-tweak-cmdlinemodule-library-for-slicer-integration
- Hierarchy nodes preserved on CLI execution
- keep the CLI simple.
- xinclude to allow people to centralize their grant support and other boilerplate info
- Results
- Xenios and Sascha performed tests and discussed many options
- Explored C++ tools for generating the CLI XML on the fly
- Lots of ideas and Xenios has some TODO items and he will push to a fork for review.
- Xenios and Sascha performed tests and discussed many options
qRestAPI and XNAT API
- Results
- Sascha and Florian built on Miklos's work from last hackfest
- Many C++ level accessors are now available in a rough application
- Can login to XNAT, list projects, lists subjects in project
- Florian and Sascha contacted Tim Olsen and Dan Marcus to work through some questions on the REST API of XNAT
- Plans
- Work will continue and people will stay in touch.
- Now there is a CTK library outside the plugin framework
- New widgets and models reflecting status
- The XNAT group expressed enthusiasm to work with CTK
- INRIA is researching and evaluating XNAT to see if it will fill needs
- Maxime is in contact with the CVI (cardiovascular) group associated with the XNAT developers (http://cvrgrid.org/featured/xnat-cvi)
- DKFZ is likely to deploy XNAT instances unless there are unforeseen roadblocks
- Want to take advantage of distributed project sharing
- Pushing from PACS into common space
- BWH also has internal XNAT implementations with several years worth of prostate biopsy databases.

Airport
- Option A: Fly into Kingston via Toronto
