Heads up: Neurord has been orphaned
by Ankur Sinha 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hi everyone, Just a heads up that the Neurord package has been orphaned by the FTBFS process and is not available in Fedora 33 and later for users. I think the build failures are Java 11 (or other Java package) related, a number of bugs are open against the package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&… If anyone is interested in doing some Java packaging and learning/practising Java in the process, this would be a good task. Please do get in touch with us. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/neurord -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha (He / Him / His) | https://ankursinha.in Research Fellow at the Silver Lab, University College London | http://silverlab.org/ Free/Open source community volunteer at the NeuroFedora project | https://neuro.fedoraproject.org Time zone: Europe/London

New release of the Comp-Neuro Fedora Linux operating system for computational neuroscience is now available for download
by Ankur Sinha 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Hello everyone, (Apologies for the cross posts) I am happy to announce that the latest release of the Comp-Neuro Fedora Linux based operating system for computational neuroscience research is now available for download from: https://labs.fedoraproject.org/comp-neuro/ For those that prefer torrents to direct server downloads, it can also be downloaded here: https://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ Detailed documentation can be accessed at: https://neuro.fedoraproject.org Based on the Fedora Workstation OS[1], the Comp-Neuro installer image includes a plethora of computational neuroscience software[2]. This includes: - commonly used simulators: NEST, NEURON, Brian2, Arbor, Auryn, CalC, COPASI, GENESIS, MOOSE; - the complete Python 3.9 science stack: Matplotlib, Jupyter notebooks, Numpy, Pandas, Pillow, Scikit-image, Scikit-learn, Scipy, Statsmodels, Sympy, *and* other utilities such as GNU Octave. Comp-Neuro Fedora also uses the popular and modern GNOME desktop environment[3], and so includes all the productivity tools that are part of the latest GNOME 3.38 release. Further, more software that is not included in the installation media can also be installed from the Fedora software repositories[4] and from FlatHub[5]. The ISO installer image is a "live" image, which means one can also run the operating system directly off the image without installing it to disk Fedora, and so Comp-Neuro Fedora is completely Free and Open Source Software, which is free for everyone to use, share, study, and modify. It is developed by the volunteer community driven NeuroFedora Special Interest Group (SIG). Any feedback and comments are most welcome[6]. If you develop software for neuroscience research, please consider getting in touch with the NeuroFedora community to help us include it in NeuroFedora. Everyone is welcome to join the community and work on whatever tasks they find interesting[7]. No prior knowledge or skills are expected.

Fwd: [FSL] Opportunities for experienced modellers to join a collaborative NSF-funded open source software development project
by Morgan Hough 02 Oct '20

02 Oct '20

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tal Yarkoni <tyarkoni(a)utexas.edu> Date: Fri, Oct 2, 2020 at 16:21 Subject: [FSL] Opportunities for experienced modellers to join a collaborative NSF-funded open source software development project To: <FSL(a)jiscmail.ac.uk> An NSF-funded multi-investigator collaboration is seeking individuals to help develop a standardized format for exchanging computational models among neuroscience, cognitive science and machine learning. The project was recently funded by NSF’s Convergence Accelerator Program, and involves Princeton Neuroscience Institute; The University of Texas at Austin; University College London; Yale Computer Science Department; and Intel Labs in collaboration with members of the broader community. We seek individuals who have considerable experience in computational modeling in cognitive science, neuroscience, and/or machine learning. Preference is for individuals with a PhD in a relevant discipline (Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology and/or Computer Science), but others with sufficient demonstrated experience will be considered. Experience in Python is necessary, and experience in one or more existing modeling environments (e.g., NEURON, The Virtual Brain, NeuroML, Emergent, Nengo, ACT-R, PyTorch and/or TensorFlow) is preferred. Involvement can be remote. Interested individuals should contact Jonathan Cohen (jdc(a)princeton.edu), Padraig Gleeson (p.gleeson(a)ucl.ac.uk), or Tal Yarkoni (tyarkoni(a)utexas.edu). -- Tal Yarkoni, Ph.D. Research Associate Professor Department of Psychology University of Texas at Austin https://talyarkoni.org ------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the FSL list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=FSL&A=1
