Hey doctors, squeeze is knocking on the door, and since lenny we have been busy to make this the most exciting release ever (till wheezy, of course). I have witnessed many great additions to Debian originating from Debian Med and now is the time to let others know about them. The best place to do so in a formal way are our release notes. Right now they do not reflect how much work went into squeeze and we should change that.
I have drafted a section that gives an impression of the new stuff in neuroimaging (appended below, already in docbook format). It would be cool if we could extend that into a larger Debian Med section, and eventually into one for all of Debian Science. If people want, we can coordinate that work on a wiki page and I can take care of merging things into a docbook-format patch to the release notes. Alternatively, you can also simply post snippets on the list and I'll harvest them. Go team! Michael ------------------------------ <section> <title>Comprehensive support for neuroimaging research</title> <para> &debian; &releasename; &release; is the first GNU/Linux distribution release ever offering comprehensive support for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based neuroimaging research. It comes with up-to-date software for structural image analysis (e.g. <systemitem role="packgage">ants</systemitem>), diffusion imaging and tractography (e.g. <systemitem role="packgage"> mrtrix</systemitem>), stimulus delivery (e.g. <systemitem role="packgage"> psychopy</systemitem>), MRI sequence development (e.g. <systemitem role="packgage">odin</systemitem>), as well as a number of versatile data processing and analysis suites (e.g. <systemitem role="packgage">nipype</systemitem>). Moreover, this release has built-in support for all major neuroimaging data formats.
