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.
Please refer to the project documentation at https://neuro.fedoraproject.org for information on what we do, how we do it, why we do it, and how you can get help and join us!
 
* Providing the package set that the [http://neuro.debian.net/ neuro-debian] project provides is a preliminary goal.
* Add additional packages, in [http://copr.fedoracloud.org/groups/g/neurofedora/coprs/ the neurofedora COPR repositories] or [https://flathub.org/home Flatpaks] if required
* 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]].
 
(A self-contained change request proposed by this SIG in the past is detailed [[Changes/NeuroFedora | here]])
 
== Communication and getting help ==
 
* Documentation on using the packages available is at [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/ docs.fedoraproject.org]. Its sources reside in a [https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/documentation/ pagure repository].
* We maintain a repository for housekeeping on Pagure.io [https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora here].
* We have our maling list here: {{fplist|neuro-sig}}. Feel free to ask any questions there.
* We also hang out on irc.freenode.net at '''{{fpchat|#fedora-neuro}}'''.
* We also have a Telegram supergroup here: https://t.me/NeuroFedora
* One can also get help on [https://ask.fedoraproject.org Ask Fedora] and use the "Troubleshooting > Software > NeuroFedora" category to mark questions ([https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/questions/scope:all/sort:activity-desc/tags:neurofedora/page:1/ Current list of questions]).
* Updates on NeuroFedora are currently announced [https://ankursinha.in/tag/neurofedora/ here].
* We have our [https://github.com/neurofedora organisation on Github], although we mainly use our [https://pagure.io/group/neuro-sig Pagure organisation].

[https://pagure.io/design/issue/602 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 [[User:mhough|Morgan Hough (mhough)]] <[mailto:morgan.hough@gmail.com morgan.hough@gmail.com]> and [[User:Ignatenkobrain|Igor Gnatenko (ignatenkobrain)]] <[mailto:i.gnatenko.brain@gmail.com i.gnatenko.brain@gmail.com]>.
 
It is currently maintained by members of the [https://src.fedoraproject.org/group/neuro-sig 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 [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts here].
 
There is no formal process for participating. Simply apply to the [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/neuro-sig 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 [[PackageMaintainers/HowToGetSponsored#Become_a_co-maintainer | join the package maintainers group by co-maintain packages with us]].
 
== Meetings ==
 
We shall have them, and see how it goes.
 
= Software =
 
{{admon/tip|Suggest more software!|Please use [https://goo.gl/forms/j6AJ82yOh78MPxby1 this form] to suggest more software for inclusion 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].
* The [https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issues pagure issue tracker] shows a list of software that is being packaged.
* Packages under review can be seen using the tracker bug: {{bz|1276941}}. Please feel free to pick them up for review.
* An older progress kanban board is [http://taiga.fedorainfracloud.org/project/ignatenkobrain-neurofedora/kanban here]
 
== Adding new software ==
 
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.
 
When the package is approved. please modify the settings of the package on src.fedoraproject.org and give the [https://src.fedoraproject.org/group/neuro-sig neuro-sig group] commit rights so that we can help maintain the whole package set.
