- Having common software stacks makes sharing much easier, potentially (and silently) saving enormous amounts of money and effort and dramatically increasing efficiently and productivity in not one, but many labs. NeuroDebian is of particular utility in these regards.

- I think that the idea of a common platform that supports a broad range of computational needs for neuroscientists is wonderful, and I am very impressed with the work that you have done so far in the NeuroDebian project.

The NeuroDebian team taught me a great deal about how to systematize software development for reliable dissemination [...] This speaks very highly of the deep skillset and commitment to user support represented in the NeuroDebian project, which will have high impact on the field and help standardize both the analysis and the interpretation of neuroimaging data.

I am constantly aware that software packaging and supporting user needs on diverse platforms represents a severe burden for developers. The NeuroDebian software platform addresses these problems for a good fraction of production environments in the field, while contributing to research reproducibility through software standardization.

NeuroDebian is playing a key role in the creation of an ``eco-system'' of open-source solutions for neuroscience [...] The standards and practices disseminated by the NeuroDebian project allowed me to start using this tool [PsychoPy] efficiently and rapidly and to contribute back to the project within a few months.
