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

Fri Apr 6 11:18:11 PDT 2012

Hi all, I don't really have any ideas, sorry - I'm always good at pointing
out potential stumbling blocks, but not as good at coming up with
solutions! We couldn't offer anything on our end due to the requirement for
NYUMC user accounts, not just accounts on our servers... You should
certainly ask Mike but I imagine the same issue will arise for access to
the NKI cluster.
