I have recently resurrected the NeuroFedora SIG. We aim to make Fedora a ready to use platform for neuroscientists, so that they can focus on the science. Read on to learn more!
The Connfa open source suite looks like a great set of tools for conference management. It consists of a web application, a central CMS integration server, and mobile applications for both Android and iOS. I was looking at how one could use the mobile applications. The mobile applications get their data from the integration server, which provides an API. So, I looked at how to set it up and document my findings in this post.
We are looking for instructors for the next round of Fedora classroom sessions.
When working on projects that require multiple iterations of simulations and/or analyses, it's really quite hard to keep track of the changes one makes and how the results vary. Sumatra is a tool that is developed to help researchers manage such projects.
I thought it'd be fun to try and build TeX Live from sources. So, I spent a day trying to do it. Here's how it went.
We set up new communication channels for Fedora Join. Come speak to us!
As the amount of work increases, it becomes ever so more important to manage time and work in an efficient way. So, there's Taskwarrior for managing tasks, Timewarrior for tracking them, and Gnome Pomodoro for making sure one takes regular breaks and doesn't let the long hours affect their health in a bad way.
I finally took some time out to set up neomutt and related tools that let me access my e-mail in a terminal. This post documents how I went about it.
