I've added some basic details about the 2026 event so we can start advertising, at least in a "save the date" way.

This commits us, by Dec 1st (when applications open) to have at least:

  • A basic schedule for each track
  • An application process

Much can be copied and pasted from 2025, but the Ephys track will need to be created from scratch.

I've requested review from the nominal "track leads", but feedback from all of @neuroinformatics-unit/neuroinformatics-core would be great. I've aimed to just get something written down so we can start advertising. The details can be changed later on.

I've pushed a new schedule image, a new image for the ephys card, and made the colours in the card emojis match the schedule.

I've also left a few optional suggestions for text formatting.

:::{note}
Dates of the 2026 event are TBC, but we expect applications to open in early 2026.
[The 2025 event](2025/index) (known as Open Software Week) brought together 44 attendees from 12 countries to learn
about open source approaches for handling large images, processing microscopy data and analysing video behavioural data.

For consistency, and because it's used as an adjective here.

Suggested change
about open source approaches for handling large images, processing microscopy data and analysing video behavioural data.
about open-source approaches for handling large images,

to analyse whole-brain microscopy datasets.

Let's use the blue "info" colour here, to match the blue theme of ephys.

Also, @JoeZiminski, happy to use this image as the placeholder thumbnail for the ephys track? I'm happy to push it myself.
