31 `Michael Hanke <http://mih.voxindeserto.de>`_ and `Yaroslav Halchenko
32 <http://www.onerussian.com>`_ originally started NeuroDebian (formerly the
33 `Experimental Psychology Debian packaging project
34 <http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-exppsy>`_) and are the current project
35 leaders. However, the whole project would not be possible without the work of
36 over 3,000 Debian_ developers and contributors who are as enthusiastically
37 building the Debian operating system.
38 A number of packages that are available from the NeuroDebian repository have
39 been contributed by various individuals and other teams in Debian, such as
40 `Debian Med`_ and `Debian Science`_. We want to express our gratitude to all
41 maintainers_ that help to make Debian_ the ultimate software platform for

92 We encourage you to participate in the `popularity
93 contest <http://popcon.debian.org>`_ (popcon), which anonymously
94 collects the list of packages you installed/use on your system.
95 Collecting such statistics is of particular importance for research
96 software projects as a prove of an existing user-base. If upon
97 installation of the system you rejected the invitation to participate
98 you can always change your decision by running::
100 sudo dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest
104 If you are deploying multiple systems through cloning, to not have
105 all systems considered as one, it would be necessary to re-generate
106 the random MY_HOSTID. Following commands ran as root should do it
107 (as root) without any interactive dialog::
109 sed -i -e 's,PARTICIPATE *= *.no.,PARTICIPATE="yes",g' -e '/^ *MY_HOSTID/d' /etc/popularity-contest.conf
110 DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure popularity-contest
112 In addition to popcon pages for your "core" distribution (e.g. `Debian
113 <http://popcon.debian.org/>`__ or `Ubuntu
114 <http://popcon.ubuntu.com/>`__) you can see/get statistics for
115 submissions to `NeuroDebian <http://neuro.debian.net/popcon/>`__ and
116 know that you are already contributing back to the community.
