A new version of the Open Source Brain (#OpenSourceBrain) model validation framework was just released. Please update your installations:

```
pip install -U OSBModelValidation
```

https://github.com/OpenSourceBrain/osb-model-validation/releases/tag/v0.3.9

#OMV is a #Python package that allows you to validate your #NeuroML models against different simulation engines---to ensure that you get the same behaviours on all these engines. Examples:

#NeuroML is participating in #GSoC2025 again this year under @INCF . We're looking for people with some experience of #ComputationalNeuroscience to work on developing #standardised biophysically detailed computational models using #NeuroML #PyNN and #OpenSourceBrain.

Please spread the word, especially to students interested in modelling. We will help them learn the NeuroML ecosystem so they can use its standardised pipeline in their work.

We're *also* looking for candidates to work with us at #GSoC2023 on the conversion of published neuroscience data into the #NeurodataWithoutBorders standard format. Please spread the word, and get in touch!

@gabrock94 I think either would do as long as it's well commented. The advantage with Jupyter notebooks is that one can use Binder/Google Collab etc. to run them without requiring a local setup.

We're also developing a new version of #OpenSourceBrain where one can keep their data + code and use a full #JupyterLab environment on our cloud instance:

(Under heavy development, still Beta!)

FYI folks, the Open Source Brain cluster is being upgraded and migrated, so you may experience transient issues on the #OpenSourceBrain platforms. More information on the status page here:
