13:14:53 <omnidapps[m]> Yes please
13:15:06 <omnidapps[m]> I may need help reviewing that after I finish it
13:15:09 <FranciscoD_> great
13:15:14 <FranciscoD_> sure, thing
13:15:18 <FranciscoD_> #action omnidapps[m] add short description to planets describing what they do
13:15:22 <omnidapps[m]> Great
13:15:31 <FranciscoD_> #info FranciscoD_ set up meeting blog post and send out reminder: DONE
13:15:40 <FranciscoD_> but gotta do it again, so another action item
13:15:43 <FranciscoD_> #action FranciscoD_ set up meeting blog post and send out reminder
13:15:48 <FranciscoD_> #action FranciscoD_ send out logs
13:16:07 <FranciscoD_> great, got most of our tasks done 👏
13:16:15 <FranciscoD_> #topic Open Pagure tickets
13:16:35 <FranciscoD_> #info Please open tickets and use the "next meeting" tag: https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issues?status=Open&tags=S%3A+Next+meeting
13:16:40 <FranciscoD_> #info No tickets to discuss
13:16:50 <FranciscoD_> (reading list is done in a different topic)
13:17:03 <FranciscoD_> #topic Package health check
13:17:32 <FranciscoD_> #info Please head to the neuro-sig packager dashboard: https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/neuro-sig
13:17:44 <FranciscoD_> note that all package maintainers can see their own dashboards
13:18:09 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_khris hardeborlaa ^ so you can go to your own dashboards to see your packages etc. also
13:19:11 <FranciscoD_> OK, we have a few FTBFS (fails to build from source) bugs
13:19:35 <FranciscoD_> but overall things look OK
13:20:26 <FranciscoD_> (Remember that we collectively maintain ~200 packages: https://src.fedoraproject.org/group/neuro-sig )
13:20:32 <FranciscoD_> #info Packages are in good health, with a few FTBFS bugs to be worked on
13:20:54 <FranciscoD_> that reminds me---gotta double check if koschei is up to date with our package list
13:21:06 <FranciscoD_> #action FranciscoD_ check to see if all our packages are tracked via koschei
13:21:44 <FranciscoD_> koschei is a service that periodically builds our packages, and files the FTBFS bugs that we see in the packager dashboard if the build fails
13:22:05 <FranciscoD_> #topic Open package reviews check
13:22:25 <FranciscoD_> #info All new packages for the neuro-sig should block our tracker bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=fedora-neuro
13:22:55 <FranciscoD_> then we can go to "show advanced fields" to see all the review tickets that this tracking ticket depends on
13:23:26 <FranciscoD_> I think your python-pyABF is the only new one vanessa_khris
13:23:49 <FranciscoD_> hardeborlaa: how do you feel about reviewing it? :)
13:24:15 <hardeborlaa[m]> FranciscoD_: good, i will review it
13:24:30 <FranciscoD_> awesome, thanks very much. I'll assign it to you
13:24:36 <FranciscoD_> #action hardeborlaa to review python-pyABF for vanessa_khris
13:25:37 <FranciscoD_> hardeborlaa: just as a reminder, this is what you need to do as a reviewer: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Review_Process/#_reviewer
13:26:09 <hardeborlaa[m]> FranciscoD_: okay, will go through it
13:26:47 <FranciscoD_> if the documentation is unclear, please open tickets here so that we can all work together to correct/improve them: https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/package-maintainer-docs/issues
13:27:25 <FranciscoD_> the other tickets are still ones that oluyosola and hafsat are working on, so we'll check them again next meeting
13:27:36 <hardeborlaa[m]> FranciscoD_: okay, thanks
13:27:46 <FranciscoD_> #topic CompNeuro lab compose status check for Fedora 36
13:28:08 <FranciscoD_> #info A quick check to see if the Comp Neuro Fedora Linux OS is being built fine for F36: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=30691
13:28:28 <FranciscoD_> this is the installer image that will be downloadble from here: https://labs.fedoraproject.org/comp-neuro/
13:28:58 <FranciscoD_> #info Latest build has ✅ so all good here
13:29:15 <FranciscoD_> #topic Neuroscience query of the week
13:29:39 <FranciscoD_> #info Anything neuroscience related you'd like to ask/share?
13:30:10 <FranciscoD_> I haven't found anything interesting recently. The last one I found was a month ago :(
13:30:14 <FranciscoD_> https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issue/318#comment-773082
13:30:37 <FranciscoD_> we have some time, so let's take 5 minutes to go through the neuroscientists' planet: https://neuroblog.fedoraproject.org/planet-neuroscientists/
13:31:16 <FranciscoD_> scientists have photographed Venus’ surface from space for the first time -> https://www.sciencenews.org/article/venus-surface-photo-parker-solar-probe-space-nasa
13:31:26 <FranciscoD_> that's interesting (even if not neuroscience related :))
13:32:38 <vanessa_kris[m]> I watched in a documentary that humans use just 10% of our brain I haven't looked it but but it sounds interesting.
13:33:26 <FranciscoD_> that is true, but it's slightly misleading
13:33:36 <FranciscoD_> we use all of our brain, just not all at once :)
13:34:02 <FranciscoD_> so when they say "only using 10%", they're being a little cheeky---what they mean is that we use 10% to carry out a specific task
13:34:24 <FranciscoD_> that's because different parts of the brain are involved in different tasks/operations
13:35:19 <vanessa_kris[m]> ohh, they made it seem like we don't maximize the brain power 😆
13:35:34 <FranciscoD_> yeh, that's been going around for a long time XD
13:35:40 <FranciscoD_> Take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area
13:36:06 <FranciscoD_> see how different areas are marked for different function, like sensory, motor, auditory etc.
13:37:31 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_khris: ah, there's even a wiki page on the 10% myth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_percent_of_the_brain_myth :D
13:38:17 <vanessa_kris[m]> oh wow, thanks you 😆
13:38:53 <FranciscoD_> This may be interesting, given that sickle cell disease affects folks with African, middle-eastern, and asian ancestry: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/gene-therapy-sickle-cell-disease-esrick-genetics
13:40:27 <FranciscoD_> Do scroll through the planet, lots of interesting general science bits there
13:40:37 <FranciscoD_> #topic Next meeting day, and chair
13:40:44 <FranciscoD_> Same time (1300 UTC) in 2 weeks?
13:41:07 <vanessa_kris[m]> FranciscoD_: +1
13:41:45 <hardeborlaa[m]> I will chair the next meeting
13:41:51 <FranciscoD_> awesome :)
13:41:57 <FranciscoD_> #action hardeborlaa to chair next meeting
13:42:09 <FranciscoD_> #info next meeting will be on 28th Feb at 1300 UTC
13:42:22 <FranciscoD_> #topic Open floor
13:42:32 <FranciscoD_> anything else that we didn't cover in the agenda?
13:42:53 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_khris: hardeborlaa : how are you feeling about the packaging etc. tasks?
13:43:15 <FranciscoD_> Is the learning curve manageable, and is the speed with which you're progressing fine for you?
13:44:29 <hardeborlaa[m]> FranciscoD_: feels so good to be learning about packaging and taking the tasks slowly as well
13:44:59 <FranciscoD_> OK, that's great to hear.
13:45:20 <FranciscoD_> Whenever you think it's getting too complicated or if it's too simple, let us know and we can tweak your tasks to match your requirements
13:45:33 <hardeborlaa[m]> FranciscoD_: yes the learning curve is managable and am really progressing
13:45:35 <vanessa_kris[m]> FranciscoD_: Great so far, its sad my outreachy programme is coming to an end so soon.
13:45:35 <vanessa_kris[m]> Oh was curious are there any more opportunities I could have to contribute to packaging.
13:46:06 <hardeborlaa[m]> FranciscoD_: sure
13:46:09 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_khris: yeh, outreachy is finishing, but you can continue to volunteer in your free time whenever possible :)
13:46:37 <FranciscoD_> vanessa_khris: i need to find you tasks for this week, so I'll look through our tickets etc. after the meeting
13:46:57 <FranciscoD_> OK, let's close the meeting early then, since we've covered the agenda
13:46:59 <vanessa_kris[m]> FranciscoD_: Awesome 🚀
13:47:00 <FranciscoD_> #endmeeting
