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.
- Providing the package set that the neuro-debian project provides is a preliminary goal.
- Add additional package
- 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)

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
- We have our maling list here: neuro-sig
- We also hang out on irc.freenode.net at #fedora-neuro[?].
Meetings
We shall have them, and see how it goes.

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.
Packages waiting for your review
You can find them on the RHBZ #fedora-neuro. Please feel free to review tickets. We'd love to swap reviews too!
Existing packages
The current list of packages we're maintaining is here.
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:
*Packages for Distributed Computing *Packages for Electrophysiology *Packages for Magnetic Reasonance Imaging *Packages for Modeling of neural systems *Packages for Neuroscience Datasets *Packages for Neuroscience Education *Packages for Psychophysics
