Almost forgot about this -- a while (now) back I have received a request for letters of support for the lead developer of Atlas. I circulated it on debian-science, but I bet there are other Debian developers who might like to contribute to such a letter. Please feel free to contribute:
http://whiteboard.debian.net/atlas-testimonial.wb I am going to send it out to Clint in a week, so there is time left. With best regards, Yarik ----- Forwarded message from Yaroslav Halchenko <deb...@onerussian.com> ----- Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 18:42:13 -0400 From: Yaroslav Halchenko <deb...@onerussian.com> To: Debian Science <debian-scie...@lists.debian.org> Subject: Fwd: [atlas-devel] tenure letters X-CRM114-Status: Good ( pR: 19.0270 ) I am sure that we have lots of Debian-science users of ATLAS (actually according to popcon it is more than 5% of Debian users). And it is time when we could help securing future ATLAS development. I guess Sylvestre as the maintainer could write a letter and few debian-science users/developers could write few more. But what about composing may be a group letter from Debian-Science group? If idea is sound, then I guess we should start composing it on google docs... sounds good? Communicated by Matthew Brett <matthew.br...@gmail.com>: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Clint Whaley <wha...@cs.utsa.edu> Date: Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 7:24 AM Subject: [atlas-devel] tenure letters To: math-atlas-de...@lists.sourceforge.net Guys, I go up for tenure this summer. The tenure committee has asked that I get testimonials from ATLAS users so they can see the importance of the package to the community. So, if ATLAS has been of use to you, this is the time to write a letter saying it. If you are an individual researcher, discussing how ATLAS helps you in your research will be very helpful. If you are a repackager of ATLAS, discussing how ATLAS helps your distro, and how many people use it would be very helpful. If you are a sys admin who installs ATLAS for others to use, outlining your lab and the types of research done their would be of great help. If you have read my papers and find them helpful, discussing that is good as well, but you don't need to do that for this, since they will ask for academic reviewers separately. If you know others that don't monitor this list who might be willing to write letters, please pass this message on. My colleagues have specifically asked for this information so they can give weight to my claims that providing ATLAS is a service to a large number of communities, that it is widely used, and that its continued production at UTSA will raise our profile. If you are willing to write a letter and need further information, please contact me directly if you like. Thanks, Clint ************************************************************************** ** R.
