Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 32
- Last updated: 2019-09-12
- Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
- Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
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 CNS*2019 conference: https://www.cnsorg.org/cns-2019-poster-presentation-guide
- The Open Source Brain workshop: http://www.opensourcebrain.org/docs/Help/Meetings#OSB_2019
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)
- Trademark approval: Approved by the Council
Upgrade/compatibility impact
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
How To Test
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
User Experience
Users will see a new Lab 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
Release Notes
A mention of the new Lab image would be very useful.
