We have been experimenting with the rapid instantiation of computational environments containing neuroimaging tools from NITRC, and the NeuroDebian repository makes installing and updating the tools through apt-related package managers rather trivial. diff --git a/sphinx/testimonials.rst b/sphinx/testimonials.rst index ec941a5..50ff648 100644 --- a/sphinx/testimonials.rst +++ b/sphinx/testimonials.rst @@ -44,6 +44,84 @@ Research Software Projects For proper software packaging and distribution, the NeuroDebian project provides professional expertise and infrastructure. +.. quote:: + :author: Chuck Theobald + :affiliation: Lewis Center for Neuroimaging, University of Oregon, MRIConvert/mcverter build master and developer + :tags: email, impact, software distribution, upstream, dissemination + :date: 2013-02-06 + + As a system administrator, I support the efforts of a number of + researchers who use fMRI analysis software.
