No August 2024 Developers Call

[handwerkerd]

I'm canceling our August 2024 developers' call because, on Mattermost several regulars said they couldn't attend and no one said they could. Also, our previous call was only 3 weeks ago.

There are some things we could have discussed in August and I encourage people to look at the relevant issues and provide input under this issue or on the linked issues & PRs.

#1118 Overhaul branch protection rules: @tsalo has suggested we require only 1 review vs 2 to merge PRs. I'm fine with this, but this should have more discussion & be paired with changes to our contributors' documentation.

I finally got around to reviewing the updates to the figure-generating notebook in #1074. Hopefully this can be updated & merged soon.

We've also merged a bunch of PRs that have been sitting open for a while and a bunch of documentation improvements:

• #1064 Generate metrics from external regressors using F stats
• #1086 Refactor gscontrol module
• #1088 Refactor metrics.dependence module
• #1113 Cleaning up installation instructions
• #1114 documentation and resource updates
• #1115 Update list of multi-echo datasets
• #1117 Link to open-multi-echo-data website

Since documentation changes are on https://tedana.readthedocs.io/ after a version is released, if we think #1074 will be merged soon, I'd like to wait for that to be merged and then release a new version followed by a newsletter highlighting the updates.

I've also aligned the robustICA PR #1013 with our current main (see: https://github.com/BahmanTahayori/tedana_florey/pull/5 ) and I'm working on addressing other issue so that we'll be able to fully review and hopefully merge soonish.

Anything else to highlight/discuss between now and our scheduled September 19th meeting?
