<!-- Self Contained or System Wide Change Proposal?
Use this guide to determine to which category your proposed change belongs to.
Self Contained Changes are:
* changes to isolated/leaf package without the impact on other packages/rest of the distribution
* limited scope changes without the impact on other packages/rest of the distribution
* coordinated effort within SIG with limited impact outside SIG functional area, accepted by the SIG
System Wide Changes are:
* changes that does not fit Self Contained Changes category touching
* changes that require coordination within the distribution (for example mass rebuilds, release engineering or other teams effort etc.)
* changing system defaults
For Self Contained Changes, sections marked as "REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM WIDE CHANGES" are OPTIONAL but FESCo/Wrangler can request more details (especially in case the change proposal category is improper or updated to System Wide category). For System Wide Changes all fields on this form are required for FESCo acceptance (when applies). 
We request that you maintain the same order of sections so that all of the change proposal pages are uniform.

<!-- What is the benefit to the distribution?  Will the software we generate be improved? How will the process of creating Fedora releases be improved?
 
      Be sure to include the following areas if relevant:
      If this is a major capability update, what has changed?
          For example: This change introduces Python 5 that runs without the Global Interpreter Lock and is fully multithreaded.
      If this is a new functionality, what capabilities does it bring?
          For example: This change allows package upgrades to be performed automatically and rolled-back at will.
      Does this improve some specific package or set of packages?
          For example: This change modifies a package to use a different language stack that reduces install size by removing dependencies.
      Does this improve specific Spins or Editions?
          For example: This change modifies the default install of Fedora Workstation to be more in line with the base install of Fedora Server.
      Does this make the distribution more efficient?
          For example: This change replaces thousands of individual %post scriptlets in packages with one script that runs at the end.
      Is this an improvement to maintainer processes?
          For example: Gating Fedora packages on automatic QA tests will make rawhide more stable and allow changes to be implemented more smoothly.
      Is this an improvement targeted as specific contributors?
          For example: Ensuring that a minimal set of tools required for contribution to Fedora are installed by default eases the onboarding of new contributors.
    When a Change has multiple benefits, it's better to list them all.

    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoMoreAlpha (an improvement to distro processes)

Comp Neuro Lab

Summary

This Change will add a new Fedora Lab image to the Fedora repertoire for users working in Computational Neuroscience.

Owner

Current status

Detailed Description

The NeuroFedora SIG is working on leveraging the excellent resources provided by the Fedora community to enable and improve the use of FOSS in (neuro) science. This Lab image is aimed at computational neuroscientists---many of which use complex tools but hail from non-computing backgrounds. By providing this software to them in a pre-packaged, ready to install Lab image, we hope to enable their work.

NeuroFedora has been presented to the research community at various gatherings and has received positive feedback:

The kickstart files are here: https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/neuro-scripts/

Benefit to Fedora

This change provides computational neuroscientists with a ready-to-use Fedora based image to use in their work. By doing so, it aims to encourage more users to use FOSS, specifically Fedora, in their scientific work.

Scope

  • Proposal owners: A limited change---it introduces a new kickstart file for the generation of the Lab Image. It does not affect any other components of the Fedora community/life cycle. Additionally, we will have to communicate with the Websites team to create a new page for this change on https://labs.fedoraproject.org.
  • Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
  • Release engineering: Not currently sure.
  • Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change)

Upgrade/compatibility impact

N/A (not a System Wide Change)

How To Test

  • Download the new installer Live image.
  • Install it.
  • Use it, file bugs if some software does not work as expected.

User Experience

Users will see a new Live Lab image on https://labs.fedoraproject.org

Dependencies

N/A (not a System Wide Change)

Contingency Plan

  • Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) N/A (not a System Wide Change)
  • Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
  • Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change), Yes/No
  • Blocks product? N/A

The contingency would be to simply to push the image generation to the next release.

Documentation

The NeuroFedora SIG maintains user-documentation at https://neuro.fedoraproject.org We disseminate news and information about our work on the various mailing lists, and on the NeuroFedora blog at: https://neuroblog.fedoraproject.org. More information on our communication channels is here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/neurofedora/communicating/

Release Notes

A mention of the new Lab image would be very useful.
