== New packages ==
When submitting a new neuro-related package for review, please add "Blocks: [[rhbug:NeuroFedora-SIG|NeuroFedora-SIG]]" to your review-request.  After the review has been granted don't forget to remove it, when filing the SCM-request, please.
When you are filing your SCM-admin-request, you should make sure to request InitialCC for "neurofedora-sig".
Example:
<pre>
New Package SCM Request
=======================
Package Name: pkgname
Short Description: summary of package
Owners: foo bar
Branches: f21 f22 f23 el6 el7
InitialCC: nf-sig
</pre>
== Packages waiting for your review ==
You can find them on the [[rhbug:NeuroFedora-SIG|NeuroFedora-SIG review-tracker]].
We would be glad, if you would take one or a few.  :)
== Existing packages ==
You can't find the existing [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/neurofedora-sig neurofedora-related packages on the PkgDB] yet but we are working on it.
== Categories ==
There is a good amount of overlap with other SIGs and Spins and some categories of NeuroFedora can be seen as BigData, Fedora-Medical, ML, Octave and SciTech in general. The classification that NeuroDebian uses is as follows:
<pre>
*Packages for Distributed Computing
*Packages for Electrophysiology
*Packages for Magnetic Reasonance Imaging
*Packages for Modeling of neural systems
*Packages for Neuroscience Datasets
*Packages for Neuroscience Education
*Packages for Psychophysics
</pre>
= What are we going to do? =
We are first planning to match packages from the debian-based neurodebian project excluding the debian packaging related tools. The second phase would be to publish a paper outlining the work here again following the neurodebian project paper. The third phase would be to publish a research paper describing new tools available in NeuroFedora
= Participation =
There is no formal process for participating; joining the mailing list, hanging out on IRC, or participating in meetings are all great ways to get involved.
A little self-introduction on the mailing list would be nice, too. And, if you want to, add yourself to [[SIGs/NeuroFedora#Members | our members-section above]].
== Mailing list ==
* Join: {{fplist|neurofedora}}
* Archives: [http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/neurofedora/ read]
== IRC ==
We will likely hang out on irc.freenode.net at [irc://irc.freenode.net/neurofedora #neurofedora].
Haven't used IRC for communication before? More information on how to use IRC is available [[IRC|here.]]
== Meetings ==
We shall have them, and see how it goes.
more to come soon.

NeuroFedora SIG

The NeuroFedora SIG's goal is to provide neuroscience researchers (and enthusiasts!) a strong, easy to use, ready-made FOSS platform for their work.

Please refer to the project documentation at https://neuro.fedoraproject.org for information on what we do, how we do it, why we do it, and how you can get help and join us!
