Hello,
I would like to make a suggestion for future development. Now there is
a Python interface, but some of us have been working with C/C++ for
many years (and we have a lot of data processing software developed in
this language).
Please, could you include a C/C++ interface for NEST?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi

Hello, I followed the NEST LIVE MEDIA Installation instructions, and the NEST 2.18.0 VirtualBox lubuntu 18.04_1 seems to be running fine. But then in a terminal window in the home directory, and whether running from inside ipython or python, after I type "import nest" at the prompt, I get an error message: "ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initpynestkernel)" (line 74 of ll_api.py). There is also another error message just before it: "Import kernel in __init__ after initializing low-level APIs" (line 28 of __init__.py)
How can this be fixed?
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I am SUN, working in RIKEN, Japan.
I am working on one issue.
I am useing the GetConnections to get the weights and keep it in the text.
connections = nest.GetConnections(source, target)
When I want to update the weight with the new information.
I am using this:
conn=nest.GetConnections(gid,gid)
nest.SetStatus(conn, newweight)
But it is not working, do you have any ideas?
Best wishes,
Sun
Dear NEST Developers!
I would like to invite you to our next bi-weekly Open NEST Developer Video Conference tomorrow
Monday 19 August, 11.30-12.30 CEST (UTC+2).
See below for information about how to log into the meeting.
The agenda for this meeting is also available online
https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/wiki/2019-08-19-Open-NEST-Developer-…
• Welcome
• Review of NEST User Mailing List
• Review of open Github Pull Request
• Review of open Github Issues
See you soon!

Log-in information
------------------
We use a virtual conference room provided by DFN (Deutsches Forschungsnetz).
You can use the web client to connect. We however encourage everyone to use a headset for better audio quality or even a proper video conferencing system (see below) or software when available.
Web client
* Visit https://conf.dfn.de/webapp/conference/97938800
* Enter your name and allow your browser to use camera and microphone
* The conference does not need a PIN to join, just click join and you're in.
In case you see a dfnconf logo and the phrase "Auf den Meetingveranstalter warten", just be patient, the meeting host needs to join first (a voice will tell you).
VC system/software
How to log in with a video conferencing system, depends on you VC system or software.
- Using the H.323 protocol (eg Polycom): vc.dfn.net##97938800 or 194.95.240.2##97938800
- Using the SIP protocol:97938800@vc.dfn.de
- By telephone: +49-30-200-97938800
For those who do not have a video conference system or suitable
software, Polycom provides a pretty good free app for iOS and Android,
so you can join from your tablet (Polycom RealPresence Mobile, available
from AppStore/PlayStore). Note that firewalls may interfere with
videoconferencing in various and sometimes confusing ways.
For more technical information on logging in from various VC systems,
please see

Hello,
On behalf of the NeuroFedora team, I'm happy to report that NEST 2.18.0
and 2.16.0 are both available for use on Fedora. Information on using
NEST on NeuroFedora is documented here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/neurofedora/nest/
Here are a few quick FAQs for your convenience:
Q. How do I use NEST on NeuroFedora?
A. It only takes two steps to install NEST using `dnf` (the default
package manager):
- Download and run (optionally install) a "live" Fedora Workstation
image from https://getfedora.org
- Install NEST 2.18.0: Run `sudo dnf install python3-nest` in a terminal.
Q. How do I use version 2.16.0?
A. 2.16.0 is provided as a "module". To install the 2.16.0 version:
- Download and run (optionally install) a "live" Fedora Workstation
image from https://getfedora.org
- Install NEST 2.16.0: Run `sudo dnf module install nest:2.16.0` in a
terminal.
Please note that only one version of NEST can be installed at once.
Q. Does NEST in NeuroFedora include MPI support?
A. Yes---variants built with both MPICH and OpenMPI are available to use.
Q. Does NEST in NeuroFedora include libneurosim/MUSIC/CSA support?
A. Not all of them yet.
- libneurosim: Yes
- MUSIC: No (under review: https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issue/28)
- CSA: No (WIP: https://pagure.io/neuro-sig/NeuroFedora/issue/33)
Q. Where do I get help?
A. The NeuroFedora team maintains multiple communication channels for
support and general discussion:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/neurofedora/communicating/
Q. What other tools does NeuroFedora provide?
A. The complete list includes neuron, auryn, PyLEMS, NineML and lots more:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/group/neuro-sig
Fedora also includes more software that is not specific to
computational neuroscience---such as productivity and development
tools, a variety of desktop environments, server and container
focussed editions, and other science related software:
- https://getfedora.org/
- https://labs.fedoraproject.org/
- https://spins.fedoraproject.org/
Q. How can I help?
A. The NeuroFedora team is made up of volunteers that believe in Free
Software and Open Science. Information on how you can join us and
help is summarised here:
