The NeuroFedora SIG's goal is to make Fedora the best platform for neuroscience and neuroimaging research.  
The NeuroFedora SIG's goal is provide neuroscience researchers (and enthusiasts!) a strong, easy to use, ready made FOSS platform for their work.


The self contained change request proposed by this SIG are detailed [[Changes/NeuroFedora | here]]
The first step towards this objective is to package as many of the tools that neuroscientists use to make them available in Fedora.

* Providing the package set that the [http://neuro.debian.net/ neuro-debian] project provides is a preliminary goal.
* Add additional package
* Release a [https://spins.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora spin]
* Publicise the spin (publish a paper outlining the work here again following the [https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fninf.2012.00022/full neurodebian project paper]?)
* Continue to enable neuroscience research, provide [[Communicating_and_getting_help | community support]].

*Packages for Distributed Computing

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.

NeuroFedora SIG

The NeuroFedora SIG's goal is provide neuroscience researchers (and enthusiasts!) a strong, easy to use, ready made FOSS platform for their work.

The first step towards this objective is to package as many of the tools that neuroscientists use to make them available in Fedora.

(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

Meetings

We shall have them, and see how it goes.

NeuroFedora Packages

  • A complete list of packages with their current status can be seen on the packages page
  • The Neuro-SIG group's page on src.fp.o also lists the already packaged software
  • Packages under review can be seen using the tracker bug: RHBZ #1276941. Please feel free to pick them up for review.
  • An older progress kanban board is here

Submitting 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.
