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".

Example:

New Package SCM Request
=======================
Package Name: pkgname
Short Description: summary of package
Owners: foo bar
Branches: f21 f22 f23 el6 el7
InitialCC: nf-sig

Packages waiting for your review

You can find them on the NeuroFedora-SIG review-tracker.

We would be glad, if you would take one or a few. :)

Existing packages

You can't find the existing neurofedora-related packages on the PkgDB yet but we are working on it.

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.

Mailing list

Join: neurofedora
Archives: read

IRC

We will likely hang out on irc.freenode.net at #neurofedora.

Haven't used IRC for communication before? More information on how to use IRC is available here.

Meetings

We shall have them, and see how it goes.

more to come soon.

+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:
+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
