-----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switch to this distribution I discovered that quite some packages which are interested in my SC corner are either outdated or not available in the *official* repos. Some of these are: openmpi outdated (1.2.8) libatlas (none) mayavi and enthought related packages (none) python-scipy (none) paraview petsc,trilinos, armadillo (none) netgen, tetgen, triangle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
