https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Comp_Neuro_Lab == Summary == This Change will add a new Fedora Lab image to the Fedora repertoire for users working in Computational Neuroscience. == Owner == * Name: [[User:bt0dotninja| Alberto Rodriguez Sanchez]], [[User:Dan1mal| Danny Lee]], [[User:Ankursinha| Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD"]], [[SIGs/NeuroFedora| NeuroFedora SIG]] * Email: `sanjay DOT ankur AT gmail.com`, `neuro-sig AT lists.fedoraproject.org` == Detailed Description == The NeuroFedora SIG is working on leveraging the excellent resources provided by the Fedora community to enable and improve the use of FOSS in (neuro) science. This Lab image is aimed at computational neuroscientists---many of which use complex tools but hail from non-computing backgrounds. By providing this software to them in a pre-packaged, ready to install Lab image, we hope to enable their work. NeuroFedora has been presented to the research community at various gatherings and has received positive feedback: * the CNS*2019 conference: https://www.cnsorg.org/cns-2019-poster-presentation-guide * The Open Source Brain workshop: http://www.opensourcebrain.org/docs/Help/Meetings#OSB_2019 The kickstart files are here: https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/neuro-scripts/ == Benefit to Fedora == This change provides computational neuroscientists with a ready-to-use Fedora based image to use in their work. By doing so, it aims to encourage more users to use FOSS, specifically Fedora, in their scientific work. == Scope == * Proposal owners: A limited change---it introduces a new kickstart file for the generation of the Lab Image. It does not affect any other components of the Fedora community/life cycle. Additionally, we will have to communicate with the Websites team to create a new page for this change on https://labs.fedoraproject.org. * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: Not currently sure. * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: [https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/269 Approved by the Council] == Upgrade/compatibility impact == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == How To Test == * Download the new installer Live image. * Install it. * Use it, file bugs if some software does not work as expected. == User Experience == Users will see a new Live Lab image on https://labs.fedoraproject.org == Dependencies == N/A == Contingency Plan == The contingency would be to simply to push the image generation to the next release. == Documentation == The NeuroFedora SIG maintains user-documentation at https://neuro.fedoraproject.org We disseminate news and information about our work on the various mailing lists, and on the NeuroFedora blog at: https://neuroblog.fedoraproject.org.
