Can we, the Software WG do some tutorials? What topics do people think we
can cover? I remember we'd briefly discussed hosting some beginner level
sessions on common computing tools like:
- git (introduction, usage, pull request workflow, good practices)
- containers (docker/podman: using + building + sharing)
Please add your ideas here especially if you're happy to teach a tutorial.
If there are other communities that do such tutorials already that we can
link up with, please mention them too.

Are there other topics folks think would be good to have in a tutorial at CNS*2021? |

A bit late to the party, but I think we will do a Brian showcase as well. If there are others interested to join in, I could also be motivated to do something general e.g. on git, general good practices (naming files, etc.) etc. It could be a half-day tutorial, or even a full day tutorial. Something mixing & matching content from the Turing Way book for example. Hoping to find the right balance between being interesting to many students and not too complicated to prepare :) |

I did a 30-min showcase of the Brain Dynamics Toolbox last year. I liked the shorter format. I think many people want to know the general features of a software tool to help them decide whether or not it's for them. They don't necessarily care about all the nitty gritty details that you would get in a full tutorial. That said, new users who have made the switch will want more.

I think everyone should at least do a showcase for their tools. That's a great way of making the scientific community aware of all the great tools out there. From the WG's perspective, I'm wondering if we can do something tool independent as @mstimberg notes. I think we need to have a quick meeting to discuss this and divide the work + make a high level plan. We can decided on the exact sessions later, but we do need to have an idea of who is happy to take up sessions etc. to be able to submit a proposal before the deadline on May 15. |

Our group is going to do a full-day tutorial on NEURON, RxD, and NetPyNE: Building mechanistic multiscale models, from molecules to networks, using NEURON and NetPyNE. It should be very similar to last year's: https://www.cnsorg.org/cns-2020-tutorials#T2 I think it would be great for the WG to do a general best practices tutorial or workshop, and I would be happy to contribute. |

Given that the tutorial day is generally booked for specific tool oriented tutorials, I was wondering if our more general tutorial could be held sometime before CNS, as "satellite tutorials" perhaps in the week or two leading up to the conference? We can discuss this with the Board and @adolocm to see if this can be done, and how. Since we'll discuss general computing skills, it may help folks pick up skills to make the specific tool oriented tutorials more useful? Thoughts? |

Hi all! We are planning to do a tutorial session on modeling synaptic plasticity with NESTML, and simulating networks using the NEST Desktop graphical user interface to NEST Simulator. Just a brainstorm idea: could we come up with a single slide, to share between all the tutorials/showcases, where we could advertise this OCNS WG and say a few words about research software engineering and its importance in neuroscience? Perhaps this could be a path towards onboarding new contributors (yes, we really do appreciate if you file a PR to fix that typo in the documentation)? |
