Dear all,
next month there will be another HBP CodeJam [1] coming up on Nov 23rd-26th and we think this might be an interesting occasion to meet and bring everyone up to the new possibilities now becoming available. The setup of models has become a lot simpler for example using NEST 3's object attribute access, and many models just need minor changes to make use of the powerful new syntax. Additionally the EBRAINS infrastructure has recently released very useful features that allow to combine different tools across the platform.
While the CodeJam is mainly advertised for service providers, it would be extremely helpful to have interested power users in the discussion to get direct feed-back for which features to specially prioritize. As far as I know the event is open to anyone with an EBRAINS account for which you can quickly register [2]. We can set up discussion slots also for discussing your use-case, questions or comments, and the event is also suited to work on real code and boost your project.
If you are interested for example to have a look into migrating your model to NEST 3, or if you have a particular topic you would like to discuss with NEST developers, or see what is possible on EBRAINS now, please register for the event and let me know! I'll try to gather the most productive set of people for those discussions.
(In case you create a new EBRAINS account for this CodeJam let me know, so I can have your account linked to the workshop – need to check…)
Looking forward!
Best, Dennis
