The NeuroFedora SIG's goal is to make Fedora the best platform for neuroscience and neuroimaging research.
The self contained change request proposed by this SIG are detailed here

NeuroFedora Packages
Interesting software waiting for being packaged
Work in progress
RHBZ #1276941
New packages
When submitting a new neuro-related package for review, please add "Blocks: fedora-neuro" 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 "fedora-neuro".
Example:
New Package SCM Request ======================= Package Name: pkgname Short Description: summary of package Owners: foo bar Branches: f21 f22 f23 el6 el7 InitialCC: fedora-neuro-sig
Packages waiting for your review
You can find them on the RHBZ #fedora-neuro.
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.
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
What are we going to do?
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.
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
IRC
We hang out on irc.freenode.net at #fedora-neuro[?].
Meetings
We shall have them, and see how it goes.
more to come soon.
