-(10/12 meeting canceled)
+Elaine, Eric, Greg, Scooter, Tom G; Kristen, Meghan, Phil, (Bhinnata?)
+
+Phil: just installed new LookSee, I like using the triggers instead of grip buttons. Discussion of inconvenient things about setup with Meta.
+
+Scooter: we ordered a Quest 3. Phil: we tried them but didn't order yet. Passthrough/resolution much better, room setup easier. Tom: graphics is supposed to be 2.6x faster, am hoping to handle larger models. 
+
+Phil: LookSee color matching not great.  Tom: I have a ticket on our LookSee github with some issues, including this poor color matching. Has to do with color space. Phil: I would also like to preload a series of scenes and have a button to traverse them.  Currently if I add scenes, they're not aligned as they were in ChimeraX.  Tom: I may add an option to only move/scale scene as a whole, otherwise models will not be kept in alignment.  Phil: what is the ordering of scenes? Tom: currently alphabetical.  Phil: that order is probably best, I can name them according to the order I want.
+
+Tom: I got vr meeting working with OpenXR. Currently have both SteamVR and OpenXR in ChimeraX, may keep both in for a while.  Scooter: may be better to drop SteamVR.  Phil: it seems to be more robust if we use a nonVR computer to start the meeting.  When to you plan the next release?  Tom: something like end of year, hope to branch next week.
+
+Scooter: big downtime next week to upgrade cluster.
+
+Phil: will the meeting server be down? Tom: No, it's on AWS. They are going to start charging by the hour for a public IP, but currently it would just be a few dollars more per month.
+
+Meghan: we're preparing for the Radiological Society of North America meeting (large, ~60K people) in a couple weeks, will credit your group for VR etc. Still not sure what we'll be showing other than NIH3D features. The booth is not that big, and the needed setup was very expensive.  Do you have suggested data?
+
+Elaine: The Download DICOM tool allows you browse all the publicly available TCIA datasets.  We've been using examples from RIDER lung in our tutorials and documentation images, but there are plenty of other ones you could use.
+
+Scooter: we need collaborators for DICOM.  Kristen: would like collaborate with Johns Hopkins in our VR study, since that could bring in surgeons and radiologists.
+
+Meghan: we appreciate your documentation, the LookSee instructions were easy to follow.  Tom: I just changed it all!
+
+Meghan: if you could get together some suggestions related to DICOM, it would be useful.  Elaine: sure, I could do that, especially since Zach is away right now.  Just be aware that some of these tools are currently bleeding edge (i.e. have lots of bugs and are in flux). I have no idea how the DICOM data works in VR and with LookSee.
