Make a common Software WG slide for use in software presentations

[sanjayankur31]

From @clinssen 's suggestion here: #16 (comment)

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)?

CC: @OCNS/software-wg: any takers? Should be a quick task?

I think this is a great idea, let's do it :) I can do a slide for feedback if noone else volunteers. Google Slides?

That'll be great @malinINCF . Yes, Google slides works. We could even re-use some bits from the INCF slides perhaps? (You should have edit permissions to those too now).

Assigning to you. Updating milestone to CNS*2021 conf (since we don't need to have this done by the submission deadline).

Here is a first try - please tell me which more logos need to be fit in :)

Logo-wise it looks good from my (i.e. Brian's) side. If you prefer a logo without background, please see: https://github.com/brian-team/brian-material/tree/master/logos

NEST is missing! You can find some high-resolution logos here: https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/tree/master/extras/logos Thanks in advance!

[malinINCF]

NEST is now added, thanks! Does anyone know if StdpC has any kind of logo/preferred illustration?

[tnowotny]

We never really made a logo ... @kernfel , any opinions on this?

[danieleavitabile]

Dear All, apologies for being latent. I have been a bit busy organising the International Conference on Mathematical Neuroscience, (ICMNS2021) which will be online, and will be announced soon. I think there may be a chance to provide visibility for our group, and will keep you posted about it.

[kernfel]

Huh, yeah, I guess the one piece of software on the list that doesn't even exist without its GUI should probably have a logo. I'll see if I can't whip something up.

Many thanks, Malin!

[kernfel]

Thank you for the nudge, @malinINCF - StdpC now has a logo at https://github.com/CompEphys-team/stdpc/tree/development/logos

[malinINCF]

Excellent, added!

[sanjayankur31]

@malinINCF : I think this is now complete. Should we add it to the repo here as a resource for WG members?

[sanjayankur31]

I've uploaded the slide to our events repo in a folder called "general resources":
