NeuroFedora SIG

The NeuroFedora SIG's goal is to make Fedora the best platform for neuroscience and neuroimaging research. The first step towards this objective is to package as many of the tools that neuroscientists use to make them available in Fedora.

We are first planning to try and match as many of the packages from the debian-based neurodebian project as possible excluding the debian-specific packaging related tools and any others for which licensing issues are a problem.

The second phase would be to publish a paper outlining the work here again following the neurodebian project paper to give the project some exposure in the research community. A parallel track to these is to continue to publish research using the tools available in NeuroFedora.

(A self contained change request proposed by this SIG in the past is detailed here)

Who we are

Join us!

There is no formal process for participating. Simply add yourself to our members-section above and apply to the Neuro-sig FAS group to gain access to the package set. While one is required to already be a package maintainer to join the group, we're happy to help you learn packaging and join the package maintainers group by co-maintaing packages with us.

Communication channels

We have our maling list here: neuro-sig
We also hang out on irc.freenode.net at #fedora-neuro^[?].

Meetings

We shall have them, and see how it goes.

NeuroFedora Packages

RHBZ #1276941

http://taiga.fedorainfracloud.org/project/ignatenkobrain-neurofedora/kanban

New packages

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

When the package is approved. please modify the settings of the package on src.fedoraproject.org and give the neuro-sig group commit rights so that we can help maintain the whole package set.

Packages waiting for your review

You can find them on the RHBZ #fedora-neuro. Please feel free to review tickets. We'd love to swap reviews too!

Existing packages

The current list of packages we're maintaining is here.

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 of packages that [neuro.debian.net|NeuroDebian] uses is as follows:

*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
