[opensuse] interest for scientific computing BoF for oSC?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there! I just want to quickly check whether there is a general interest for a get together at the oSC of people working with scientific computing (SC) software and openSUSE. A motivation behind this is to discuss how to improve opensuse as platform for scientific computing. I am in general very satisfied with my shortterm experience of openSUSE, including tumbleweed, but I after my recent switch to this distribution I discovered that quite some packages which are interested in my SC corner are either outdated or not available in the *official* repos. Some of these are: openmpi outdated (1.2.8) libatlas (none) mayavi and enthought related packages (none) python-scipy (none) paraview petsc,trilinos, armadillo (none) netgen, tetgen, triangle (none) bullet (none) cgal, gts (none) scientific python (none) suitesparse? Some of these are spread over different projects like Science and Education, which results in a significant overlap of packages with different version numbers, possible incompatibilities etc. So an idea might be to talk about how to improve the situation, software which might be interesting to package (maybe even trying to start a unifying SC project) or about what else comes into your mind! As I said that are some first thoughts and I am looking forward to hearing any comment, suggestion etc. Cheers, Andre -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOJFJuAAoJEA79ggnbq9dmZvAH/RnGBzM1Gxjhyo7fJJo2+gGC CJDzdg0T7OHcQUl588lQiVJrayFrUbs9mSddm0DG6XVrBIndJc2OTEuRZhBeBbka BtQbzdDKPLDyRSZ301OS4KCkDzdzEDuGunwtQ5svA5tOgEx7EDfjuwMSV9UmdQR/ 4qoTNG/du88YcKM3dk2odFBwOpm5lU6wEqA06Aw/CaR2TB8mIszilvNZdx/9Ic5y CYkz/TMXWvqGglQoy+y+12poJ9olZj0B3wAStfB78/9aLeNUT5YMWfW5ogo9cehW T7lAJZlJeITh7eico12BJNq5wBNzHmb6BE8NewGjbfCtaT/NieLJH7FnTvyqk2Y= =Y7Gq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm biologist, so I'm also highly interested in this question, although I'm not developer (I help with translations and bug reporting). Just to remind, there are two important mailing lists for those topics: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-medical/ and http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-edu/ There also has been some extensive discussion on openFATE, see for example https://features.opensuse.org/query/tag?tag=scientific I personally use R (incl. Rkward and so on), a lot of software written in Java (hehe, is there real need to package it?;-) and easy C binaries. Also software like KBibTeX and so on. Some software is in repos like Science, Education, devel:/languages:/R:/ (not so much there at all), ... So I'm interested in such activity, but I'm not sure how much I can help. :-) Best regards!

Thanks for the pointers. I subscribed to them as well and will forward the message to those. I recognized a very low traffic on the Education ml, is that project still active? And what about the science project?
There also has been some extensive discussion on openFATE, see for example https://features.opensuse.org/query/tag?tag=scientific
Oh, great, I was thinking about opening such a feature request, thanks for pointing that out, I will add a list of missing interesting software there.
I personally use R (incl. Rkward and so on), a lot of software written in Java (hehe, is there real need to package it?;-) and easy C binaries. Also software like KBibTeX and so on.

Well, that it would be one purpose of a BoF :) Are you planning to attend the conference? Cheers, Andre

Hi I am doing research in digital communications and embedded systems. I have the same feeling that some packages need to be added to openSUSE (e.g. aigaion (bibliography management) or IT++ (signal processing)). Maybe a wiki page would be a start in order to list and vote software that could be added to openSUSE. This could be a good way of advertising less known software useful for scientists. regards -- Bogdan Cristea Embedded Software Engineer Philog 46 rue d'Amsterdam 75009 Paris, France tel: +33 (0)6 21 64 15 81 web: http://sites.google.com/site/cristeab/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, that sounds like a good idea, and I guess the openfate page Vojtěch pointed is a good starting point, especially https://features.opensuse.org/309007 where some people have already listed a bunch of desired packages. The page already contains a growing list for popular scientific software. I just added there packages I would like to see in openSUSE. Maybe you would like to add your wishes there as well? The question is how to proceed with the voting for packages question, since it is probably unreasonable to vote for "Yes, I want to have the 150 packages in opensuse" since some people has to do some work then, concerning especially those package which have not been packaged yet at all in OBS. Lots of things to discuss :) Kind regards Andre -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOJIctAAoJEA79ggnbq9dmUTMH/34GFN+BDtqtTbqzTzYHynrZ CavEs0033/NHkqO23JqXPWZ0ks2x8O0cn5gWsQdkK+Nouomg/agvHtQU0rXt5tcr 1s/Jc/4JH4QJbGBh/YZu/I6S+NP4zL9BFGdkIrbhEYABZyEJ7nNxUsG5xcEuZRNo nBMcF8iB1AULH3cl7uWqcuxaCdPqxlTYVfxUfxvPM6cPxQFAfrnf61Hvs56XErBi +6nj1fx9PGxPqwOFcquhsQNLthtWpGceoIbTXGn5wTapxAv3M9stJrrC4ewAca/S Xo5K9cR4jZOxmoYotT7hKpqfnbpBwSTYTBMb3DDtXNvwBfDXmA7LVaMsKCUik64= =RzqY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi! I was very active on that openFate when it started. Also compiled a part of the software lists available in there. Unfortunatelly, openfate never screamed loud enough. :( Anyway, You can count me on any project in order to try to push forward more scietific programs on Suse! Unfortunatelly, as someone mentioned, I'm also listed as one that doesn't know all the tricks on making .rpm files or it's way into OBS. In any case, I'm available for testing! ;) Let's hope this really works this time! ;) Jones -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
