NeuroFedora SIG

The NeuroFedora SIG's goal is to 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.

Providing the package set that the neuro-debian project provides is a preliminary goal.
Add additional packages, in the neurofedora COPR repositories or Flatpaks if required
Release a Fedora spin
Publicise the spin (publish a paper outlining the work here again following the neurodebian project paper?)
Continue to enable neuroscience research, provide community support.

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

Communication and getting help

Documentation on using the packages available is at docs.fedoraproject.org. Its sources reside in a pagure repository.
We maintain a repository for housekeeping on Pagure.io here.
We have our maling list here: neuro-sig. Feel free to ask any questions there.
We also hang out on irc.freenode.net at #fedora-neuro^[?].
We also have a Telegram supergroup here: https://t.me/NeuroFedora
One can also get help on Ask Fedora and use the "Troubleshooting > Software > NeuroFedora" category to mark questions (Current list of questions).
Updates on NeuroFedora are currently announced here.
We have our organisation on Github, although we mainly use our Pagure organisation.

Artwork

Terezahl made us some awesome artwork for use in various locations, such as the website, and other posts (and T-shirts?!). These live on their own page here: SIGs/NeuroFedora/Artwork.

Who we are

NeuroFedora was founded by Morgan Hough (mhough) <morgan.hough@gmail.com> and Igor Gnatenko (ignatenkobrain) <i.gnatenko.brain@gmail.com>.

It is currently maintained by members of the neuro-sig.

Join us!

We encourage everyone to join the group. We're more than happy to help new members learn the skills required to participate in the project. Please contact us using the methods outlined above.

Since we use infrastructure provided by the Fedora community, one must have a Fedora account to access it. It can be created here.

There is no formal process for participating. Simply 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-maintain packages with us.

Meetings

We shall have them, and see how it goes.

Software

Suggest more software!
Please use this form to suggest more software for inclusion in NeuroFedora.

Already available software can be found on the Neuro-SIG group's page on src.fp.o.
The pagure issue tracker shows a list of software that is being packaged.
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

Adding new software

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.

-== 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:
+We shall have them, and see how it goes.

-= What are we going to do? =
+{{admon/tip|Suggest more software!|Please use [https://goo.gl/forms/j6AJ82yOh78MPxby1 this form] to suggest more software for inclusion in NeuroFedora.}}
-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.
+* Already available software can be found on [https://src.fedoraproject.org/group/neuro-sig the Neuro-SIG group's page on src.fp.o].

+== Adding new software ==
-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.
+When [[New package process for existing contributors|submitting a new neuro-related package for review]], please add "Blocks: [[rhbug:fedora-neuro|fedora-neuro]]" to your review-request.
-A little self-introduction on the mailing list would be nice, too. And, if you want to, add yourself to [[SIGs/NeuroFedora#Members | our members-section above]].
