I've left autonomous driving and re-entered the medical imaging community. I'm now part of a lab that works on pathology so I would be happy to fix ITKIOOpenSlide! Aside of these 3 issues, what else is needed?

There's also an obscure L-BFGS-B bug I need to fix for vnl/ITK.

@nslay welcome back ☀️

Contributions would be welcome and appreciated!

Working Python package build configuration can be generated from the ITKModuleTemplate cookie cutter. Copy the resulting .github/workflows/build-test-package.yml file to a PR on this repository. I will send an invite to be a maintainer on this repository so you can push to the upstream instead of a fork -- this is helpful to set up the initial CI configuration. We will likely want to limit, at least initial development, to the Linux Python package and depend on the Linux system package manager install of the OpenSlide libraries.
