Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear Mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package gpvdm. To download the package please visit: http://gpvdm.com/debian.php Gpvdm is a tool to design and optimize solar cells. It was originally written to help design plastic solar cells, a new type of low cost solar cell based on conducting plastics rather than traditional more expensive silicon. (as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC7ey2E8Nyk , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o425pMjZL1Y) The model has now been adapted to simulate many more type of solar cell including traditional silicon solar cells and other novel 3rd generation devices. I've developed the model over a period of 5 years and it has resulted in quite a few publications: http://gpvdm.com/publications.html Over t he last three years, I've been pushing the code to the web and produced a windows exe. As there are no other open source alternatives, and with the closed source alternatives costing quite a bit of cash, I thought it would generally help the scientific community working in solar energy harvesting to have the package in Debian. Having good tools available to design better solar cells, will go a small way to helping humanity transition to a low carbon future. I would therefore be really appreciative of your support in getting gpvdm into the repository. I'm more than happy to make any suggested changes to the upstream code needed. * Package name : gpvdm Version : 4.40-1 Upstream Author : Roderick C I MacKenzie, roderick.macken...@nottingham.ac.uk * URL : www.gpvdm.com * License : GPL V2 Section : Education * Closes : Bug#818871 many thanks for your support, Rod MacKenzie This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
