I also enjoyed the conf. One result is a further collaboration on EMBOSS bindings to Perl, Python, Ruby and the JVM.
> Cool - but what is rq? I can't find it in SVN nor on our tasks page. Brilliant tool for parallelized running of programs. Like Gridengine, or Torque, but *much* simpler to set up as it only requires one shared dir (not even ssh!). Wil run programs/scripts on a single multi-core, in a cluster, and in the cloud. I use it every day and have become part of 'upstream'. It is on Alioth in pkg-escience/rq-ruby1.8.git repo. I much prefer git over SVN. It is ready for upload, I think. > > * Pjotr's call to arms for better marketing, seconded by about everyone > > Ahhhh, so Pjotr is our first marketing officier in the Debian Med team? > That would be really cool!

I think, apart from the natural packaging, the only really useful thing would be a Bioinformatics page on the Wiki. Which should include a short Howto for newbie packagers. As simple as possible, without all the choices and options. Debian packaging is presented in a too complicated way (to scientists, forgive the irony). That is killing. I am recording my learning steps, when I have time I may turn it into a Howto. But don't hold your breath. Thanks Steffen, Andreas and others. I found it inspiring to see people taking software deployment so seriously. Its importance is usually underestimated. It is important for science, and serious progress!
