[sage-devel] Advice about grant funded software projects?

2018-11-22 Thread Robert Jacobson
I am the author of MathLine and FoxySheep. My motivations have been to ultimately improve Sage, in particular by improving the ability for Mathematica and Sage to communicate. I have been trying to strategize about how to move forward within an academic environment that doesn't recognize scienti

Re: [sage-devel] Re: Sage 8.0 Build Error on MacOS, [mpir-3.0.0.p0] Error building MPIR.

2017-09-13 Thread Robert Jacobson
I'm having the same issue. To get MPIR to compile I had to remove all three of mpn/x86_64/skylake/avx/addmul_1.asm mpn/x86_64/skylake/avx/mul_basecase.asm mpn/x86_64/skylake/avx/sqr_basecase.asm Thanks for working on this, Bill. Best, Robert On Wednesday, 6 September 2017 21:44:21 UTC-4, Bi

[sage-devel] Re: promoting github.com/sagemath/sage to full git trac mirror?

2017-09-12 Thread Robert Jacobson
I think there is utility in leaving github.com/sagemath/sage as it is: - It's easy to navigate using the GitHub web interface, whereas the entire trac server repo is not. (Try browsing the branches.) - It gives direct, no-nonsense access to releases, RC's, and beta's. Having a full Git

[sage-devel] Review ticket #18138

2017-03-07 Thread Robert Jacobson
I've been working on an old ticket, #18138 (https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/18138), regarding the Mathematica interface. Here's a quick summary of the ticket: - Starting with Mathematica 9, the command line front end shipped with Mathematica no longer works with pexpect. - The short-t

[sage-devel] Re: Sage logo -- Proposal

2015-04-07 Thread Robert Jacobson
I think a logo refresh would be great. Companies refresh their logos all the time without loss of continuity or brand recognition. I agree with the concern that this kind of thing requires the skills of a professional designer, but I don't see why such a professional couldn't be involved at the

Hi. I have yet to contribute code to sage, but I think I've found something easy enough for me to start with. I'd like to talk about how to proceed. I found ticket #13892 and the apparent duplicate ticket #15318 wh
