Add Nengo to Open Neuroscience

[amchagas]

Hello!

We are reaching out because we would love to have your project listed on Open Neuroscience, and also share information about this project:

Open Neuroscience is a community run project, where we are curating and highlighting open source projects related to neurosciences!

Briefly, we have a website where short descritptions about projects are listed, with links to the projects themselves, their authors, together with images and other links.

Once a new entry is made, we make a quick check for spam, and publish it.

Once published, we make people aware of the new entry by Twitter and a Facebook group.

To add information about their project, developers only need to fill out this form

In the form, people can add subfields and tags to their entries, so that projects are filterable and searchable on the website!

The reason why we have the form system is that it makes it open for everyone to contribute to the website and allows developers themselves to describe their projects!

Also, there are so many amazing projects coming out in Neurosciences that it would be impossible for us to keep track and log them all!

Open Neuroscience tech stack leverages open source tools as much as possible:

• The website is based on HUGO + Academic Theme
• Everything is hosted on github here
• We use plausible.io to see visit stats on the website. It respects visitors privacy, doesn't install cookies on your computer
  • You can check our visitor stats here

Hi @amchagas, thanks for reaching out! This looks like a very interesting project. Also, I hadn't heard about plausible.io before, but now that I know about it, I'm definitely motivated to switch over to it for analytics...

One issue is that Nengo and its ecosystem is currently not an open source project, our license is free use for non-commercial purposes, and is source-available, but it's definitely not an OSI-approved license (we do not allow commercial use for free, for example). How strict is the Open Neuroscience project regarding the choice of license?

Hi @tbekolay,

Thanks for clarifying the licenses being used in the project. I think this is not a stopper for it to be listed on Open Neuroscience, as you make it quite explicit what people are and are not allowed to do with it, and from your link, this is done better than in most projects I have seen so far! Well done :)

So, from my point of view, if you want to list it on Open Neuroscience, that would be fine, specially if you explicit things they way you've done here!

thanks!!
