Now it is time to get back into action!<br><br>Daniel, Pierre, and I had a brief conversation recently about the "2012 Brain Hack and (Un)Conference". The current idea is to host the conference in Leipzig the weekend before the Resting State Workshop in Magdeburg. We would like to form a committee to organize this event. Are you interested in contributing? We would like for the committee to involve no more than 5 or 6, in order to keep it efficient. Of course, non-committee members will still be able to provide input, but less frequently at larger NB wide conference calls.<br><br>We also would like to put together a committee for the <a href="http://BrainHack.org/">BrainHack.org</a> (yes, I own the rights!) website. This site will be much like <a href="http://spacehack.org/">spacehack.org</a>, but will be focused on opportunities for geared toward open neuroscience. I have been thinking that this should be a wordpress site in order to keep expenses low. Committee responsibilities will include designing the look and feel of the site as well as compiling open neuroscience projects and resources for content. Again we would like this group to be no more than 5 or 6 people and non-committee members will be able to provide input. Hopefully this site can be up well in advance of the BrainHack so that it can be a medium for attracting attention to projects that will be showcased at the BrainHack and (Un)Conference. <br><br>There will of course be several future opportunities to be involved in Neuro Bureau activities. We will need committees to organize the 2012 HBM party, and art@HBM 2012.<br><br>Please let me know if you are interested in participating in these activities.<br><br>Also, please send around a message if you will be attending SFN in DC. It would be nice to try and get everyone together for dinner and drinks one night during the conference. It is unlikely that I will attend the conference, but am close enough to come for the day.<br><br>I hope to plan a conference call in the near future.<br><br>Regards,<br>Cameron <br><div>
