 I'm presenting Neurodebian project which we work together with Michael Hunky from University of Magdeburg and I am at the moment at Center of Cognitive Neuroscience at Dartmouth College. When we were students in our PhD program we realized that we need quite a lot of software to implement our research and that software is not that easy to deploy and maintain unless you want to get stuck with one version and regardless how buggy it is or how inefficient it is. That's why in Debian users we started to package the software which we use for Debian and we realized that it might be useful for others. Slowly our project grew from two packages integrated in Debian which we needed for our research into hundreds of packages which people use to implement their analysis strategies abstracting away from the problems which they usually encounter while dealing with software. Installation, deployment, troubleshooting, testing. In our in our work we are not simply packaging the software but we rather have hands-on experience with the software because we need to provide initial legal assurance and QA of the software that it complies with actual license which was stated by the authors and quite often there are problems with licensing because people happen to use numerical recipes code which is proprietary they happen to use another open source library but which is released under incompatible terms let's say GPL and all the patchy license they couldn't be combined together so all those little nuisances even before approaching to build software they become quite critical for delivering a system which could easily and securely be shared with among people. Through our activities we arrived to not only collection of the software which is separate but we are arriving at a platform where all the software could be used in one composite let's say architecture and could be deployed anywhere in the cloud on local computers on classrooms which don't even have Linux running with virtual box virtualization it becomes really easy to equip any classroom with neurodebian instance and use it for a classwork which could later be shared not only with among the students but could be sent to anyone who wants to let's say implement remote course right and participate remotely they don't have to install anything they just would import their plans and would go through the same coursework as people did in the class that's why it enables not only doing this kind of teaching activities but also research if you're collaborating between different labs how do you deal with providing the other lab with exactly the same environment share your virtual box with neurodebian installed if you happen to know that there is a new version which came out you could easily upgrade to that version and it will be remaining the same identical environment
