New packages

When submitting a new neuro-related package for review, please add "Blocks: 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".

more to come soon.

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 our members-section above.
