Contribute to one of the nipy projects

If you are using a software library, consider contributing to its development. It’s fun, it’s helpful, and if you are not careful, you might learn something useful. Each project has its own workflow pertaining to contributions, but it usually involves raising an issue on the project’s Github repository to discuss the proposed change, making a fork of the repository on github, making changes to the code and submitting a pull request. If you are just getting started with this, don’t be shy: ask for help!

Adding projects to the project directory

Adding a blog post

It would be wonderful if various members of the community would add posts to the blog that can be found here. Tell us about a new paper you’ve written or read, a workshop or conference that you’ve organized or attended, a new trick that you’ve learned, or a pet peeve of yours (anyone want to tell us why from foo import * is a bad idea?)! If you are already writing somewhere else, put in a post linking to your nipy-related posts!

To add a post, create a new file under the blog folder. Name it something like: mypost.md, be sure to include a metadata block that looks something like this:

If you don’t want people to comment on your post, simply set the comments block to false. But isn’t it fun to have a conversation? Add a section about yourself to the _data/authors.yml file and a corresponding image to the images folder. If you want to add images to your post, put these image files in the images folder at the root level of the repository as well. Your own photo will be automatically added to the end of your post, and you can insert the content images into your post markdown text such as the following:

Which will result in and image like this:
