Hi, I want to request the creation of a mailing list for people using Debian to do Science to communicate with each other. This is a result of the talk I gave at Debconf5 about "Using Debian for Science Research". I've since received emails from several people, expressing interest in the general idea, and I think that it would be a good start to allow people who are interested in the use of Debian as an OS for scientific research to communicate easily via a mailing list. Name: debian-science Rationale: Research scientists and students have a fairly specific set of needs from their operating system. The aim of this list is to allow people who are interested in using Debian for science and science research to communicate about packages that are particularly useful, discuss problems that commonly occur in scientific applications, and talk about general issues that arise when using Debian for science. One possible aim of the list would be to discuss the creation of a Custom Debian Distribution for use in science research. Short Description: using debian for science and related research Long Description: Debian Science: For discussion of issues relating to the use of Debian for science research, including useful packages, particular problems faced by scientists using Debian, how to make Debian more useful to scientists, etc. Category: Developers Subscription Policy: open Post Policy: open Web Archive: yes Thanks, Helen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC6CGq3eNc8VZTycQRAjy9AJ9/am2pj6A3ZM3FQ3UFf51SZzsVKgCcCoSQ yTtKjlqYOMgV+y+krc6WwyY= =PwqC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
