NeuroFedora updated: 2019 week 2
We had our first meeting of the year. The full logs from our meeting are available here on the Fedora mote application. I have pasted the minutes of the meeting at the end for your convenience.
The meeting was broadly for the team to come together and discuss a few things. We checked on the status of current tasks, and discussed our future steps. We've got to work on our documentation, for example. There's a lot to do, and a lot of cool new things to learn---in science, computing, and community development. If you'd like to get involved, please get in touch.
We're continuing our work on including software in NeuroFedora, since that's the major chunk of our work load.
