Hello, We're going to restart our public meetings in ~2 weeks. These meetings are open for everyone to attend, not just the NeuroFedora volunteers. Could everyone that would like to attend the meetings please fill in the whenisgood to indicate your preferences? http://whenisgood.net/bwsq9fd We'll look at the results and settle on a new time at the end of next week. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

Heads up: NEURON being updated in rawhide to 7.8.1
by Ankur Sinha 20 Aug '20

20 Aug '20

Hello, Just a quick heads up. This only affects you if you are using Fedora "rawhide" (which will become Fedora 34). A new version of the NEURON simulator was recently released[1] and the developers are looking to move to the CMake build system. I'm working on the update now, but there are a few issues that will need to be ironed out. So, it may take a few days to complete the update. I'll drop another line here when it has been completed. You can follow discussions with the devs here: https://github.com/neuronsimulator/nrn/issues/719 [1] https://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/news/neuron-781-released -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

You will be able to learn whatever you need while tinkering with your tasks. That's how we all learn in FOSS :) > 2. Is the Neuroscience background necessary?

No, while it's good to have some domain knowledge, at the moment, NeuroFedora is very focussed on the software side of things. So, while you work with Neuroscience tools, you'll have the chance to learn about them depending on your personal interests. > 3. What is the kind of work that will get assigned and how much time will I > need to spend per week and when? We're part of the Fedora community, which is a Free/Open Source Software community. At the moment, NeuroFedora is also very much focussed on adding neuroscience tools to Fedora/NeuroFedora. So, tasks would be related to: - building software from source to supply it to Fedora users: as rpms and then as containers, - keeping documentation up to date, - testing software, learning how to use it, - outreach/marketing to share information about NeuroFedora, FOSS, and Open Science > 4. What kind of trainings you will be giving if there will be any? We don't hold training sessions---not like one may get at an internship. We help you find a task you are interested in, and we'll help you find the right resources to learn the skills needed to carry out your tasks. The complete Fedora/NeuroFedora community will be at your disposal whenever you want to ask a query. I hope that helps. Please join any of the communication channels and keep talking to the team. That'll help you get to know the people and the project better. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/neurofedora/communicating/ -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

neuro-sig COPR group clean up
by Ankur Sinha 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

Hello, We've got quite a few unmaintained repos on COPR under the neuro-sig group. I intend to do a bit of housekeeping to remove projects there that aren't in use any more. Please take a look and let me know if you do not want me to delete a project: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/groups/g/neurofedora/coprs/ I will delete all projects apart from the neurofedora-extra copr on Monday, the 10th of August. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

jNeuroML added to NeuroFedora-extras COPR
by Ankur Sinha 07 Aug '20

07 Aug '20

Hello everyone, Just a quick update: jNeuroML is now available in the NeuroFedora-extras COPR. It is the reference implementation of the NeuroML specification: https://www.neuroml.org/ Packages that we cannot get in to the official Fedora repos will be made available in the COPR. You can learn more about it here (it will be updated to list jNeuroML when the docs are built next): https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/neurofedora/copr/ I'll work on the other packages of the NeuroML stack now, all of which will go into the COPR since they all depend on jNeuroML. As an additional note, I've added a page to the docs about software that we will/can not include in NeuroFedora: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/neurofedora/excludedtools/ It currently includes: - the proprietary Nvidia drivers and tools that depend on them: CUDA based. - FSL: which prohibits commercial use in its license and thus cannot be included in Fedora. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

[Fwd] [Fedora-spins] Attention all active spins! DNF better counting is almost here -- time to update spins!
by Ankur Sinha 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Hi folks, Just an FYI. This will allow the community to collect some usage metrics on the different products, so we'll be able to have some idea of how many people are using the comp-neuro lab, for example. I've filed a ticket for this now and will work on it. If anyone has any other comments, please comment on the ticket: https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issue/384 ----- Forwarded message from Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> ----- > Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2020 13:19:53 -0400 > From: Matthew Miller <..> > To: spins(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > Subject: [Fedora-spins] Attention all active spins!
