+ [...] your team are ideally placed to make this system work. I have worked with Yaroslav Halchenko and Michael Hanke. [...] Their record on working together as a team, and individually, is easy to find, and speaks for itself. Their demonstrated combination of seemingly inexhaustible energy, openness and skill has been of enormous benefit to our own project and community.

+ Having such a group of experts [NeuroDebian developers] that search for open-source software solutions, refine them and then make them trivially easy for users to install and try out is of absolutely invaluable benefit to the research community and to the funding bodies that would, otherwise, be paying much larger sums in commercial software licensing fees.

+ Since 2007 we completely rely on the NeuroDebian project to provide users of the Debian/Ubuntu platform with FSL software packages and corresponding technical support. [...] we have received a continuous stream of bug fixes and improvements that have been developed by members of the Debian community. [...] we were able to benefit from work of people that would not otherwise contribute to the development of FSL – without any additional investment of my lab, but solely due to FSL’s presence in the Debian archive.
