[Neurobureau-hubs] Brainhack 2012 and brainhack.org updates

[Pierre Bellec]

Hi Clare,

Cameron and I discussed a bit about that, and it's not that clear. There
are not a lot of resources on-site (unless Daniel pushes forward his
Christmas shopping). We were thinking to have a couple of raw and
preprocessed databases on hard-drives on-site. Then we thought about having
some dedicated computing resources, but they will necessary be small. I
will for sure be able to create accounts on an 8-thread machines, and maybe
a 24-cores.
I am not quite sure yet how I will deal with privacy issues. I may create a
dedicated group on the server with restricted access to the rest of the
server. We would also need to make sure that anybody interested in using
such resource has all the tools installed and available to him/her. Thanks
to neurodebian this is easy for ubuntu or debian based system, but it can
get tricky on other platforms. Would anybody out there be able to
contribute some computational resources (which also means creating user
accounts and installing software) ?

Best,
