http://neuro.debian.net/

Collection based on a collaborative effort of popular neuroscience research software for the Debian operating system as well as Ubuntu and other derivatives. Popular packages include AFNI, FSL, PyMVPA and many others. It contains both unofficial or prospective packages which are not (yet) available from the main Debian archive, as well as backported or simply rebuilt packages also available elsewhere. A listing of current and planned projects is available if you want to get involved. The main goal of the project is to provide a versatile and convenient environment for neuroscientific research that is based on open-source software. To this end, the project offers a package repository that complements the main Debian (and Ubuntu) archive. NeuroDebian is not yet another Linux distribution, but rather an effort inside the Debian project itself. Software packages are fully integrated into the Debian system and from there will eventually migrate into Ubuntu as well. With NeuroDebian, installing and updating neuroscience software is no different from any other part of the operating system. Maintaining a research software environment becomes as easy as installing an editor. There is also virtual machine to test NeuroDebian on Windows or Mac OS. If you want to see your software packaged for Debian, please drop them a note.

While many data sharing programs exist worldwide, widespread sharing of raw data has not yet won across-the-board acceptance in the scientific community, and the very existence of all these databases makes the approach fractured at best. The Data Sharing Project, launched last year by University of California-San Francisco Professor Michael Weiner, has two goals: One is to make widespread raw data sharing a reality initially in the realm of medicine through creation of a repository system accessible to all researchers; the second goal is to foster broad scientific support for this move and its adoption in other fields of research. With major projects such as the Human Genome Project demonstrating the tremendous scientific breakthroughs made possible by data sharing and with the decline of technological barriers impeding such efforts, the time has come to work to achieve widespread sharing of raw data worldwide. The Data Sharing Project proposes to further this goal initially in the field of medicine by working to create a raw data sharing program that will serve as a model to other disciplines attempting to make their own way in this arena. The Northern California Institute for Research and Education (NCIRE) together with the University of California-San Francisco and support from the Michael J. Fox Foundation is now in the process of canvassing the scientific community to analyze the best possible data sharing program and practices to establish in the field of medicine.

SysMO-DB is a project that is creating a web-based platform, and tooling, for finding, sharing and exchanging Data, Models and Processes in Systems Biology. It was designed to support the SysMO Consortium (Systems Biology for Micro-Organisms), but the principles and methods employed are equally applicable to other multi-site Systems Biology projects. All code is open source and available for download. SEEK, a component of SysMO-DB, is a private community collaboration and asset sharing platform for Systems Biology models, data and protocols serving 120 research institutions throughout Europe. SEEK is the main web-based access point to the system and provides an access control layer to enable researchers to restrict access to collaborators, colleagues or other individuals until they are ready to share with the whole consortium or the wider community. The main objectives of SysMO-DB are to: facilitate the web-based exchange of data between research groups within- and inter- consortia, and to provide an integrated platform for the dissemination of the results of the SysMO projects to the scientific community. We aim to devise a progressive and scalable solution to the data management needs of the SysMO initiative, that: * facilitates and maximizes the potential for data exchange between SysMO research groups; * maximizes the ''shelf life'' and utility of data generated by SysMO; * provides an integrated platform for the dissemination of the results of the SysMO projects to the scientific community; and * facilitates standardization of practices in Systems Biology for the interfacing of modeling and experimentation. We follow several key principles: * exploit what is already available, both within the consortium and outside it, and do not reinvent; * identify the least we can do to make a benefit and do this incrementally. SysMO-DB will soon be opening it up to the wider scientific community, but for now it is currently only available for those within the SysMO consortium.
