[Neuroinfo] BrainScaleS CodeJam #6

[Andrew Davison]

There are still some places available at the 6th BrainScaleS CodeJam  
workshop, which will take place 27th - 29th January 2014 in Jülich,  
Germany (sorry for the late announcement).

The CodeJam workshops are dedicated to bringing together scientists,  
graduate students, and scientific programmers to share ideas, present  
their work, and write code together. Mornings are dedicated to invited  
and contributed talks, leaving the afternoons free for discussions,  
tutorials and code sprints. These workshops have been hugely effective  
in catalyzing open-source neuroscience software development.

The 6th CodeJam has a focus on high-performance computing. We invite  
contributions on any topic related to software in neuroscience, but  
especially on topics related to the main theme. If you have ideas for  
organising code sprints, whether a feature that you would like to see  
added to an existing tool or an idea for new software, please also let  
us know.

The local organisation is carried out by the Simulation Lab  
Neuroscience (SLNS), headed by Abigail Morrison. Originally funded by  
the FACETS project, the workshops enjoy ongoing funding and support  
from BrainScaleS, INCF, the Helmholtz Association, the Jülich-Aachen  
Research Alliance and the Bernstein Network.
