Science The Gentoo Scientific Project 2009-01-21 Science Team The Gentoo Scientific Project handles all Gentoo related Math and Science items.

The Gentoo Scientific Project handles math and science related activities in Gentoo. This includes maintaining packages that belong to various math and science related herds, fortran compilers, documentations and communications.

The goals of Scientific Gentoo are to provide a simple but optimal installation and configuration of a wide variety of math and science applications. Scientific computing is an area where custom optimization provides great benefit. We also provide tools to easily switch configurations, and relevant documentations. We give special attention to ways to test the packages, through regression suites, and benchmarks.

New packages and more complex version bumps are held in an Overlay. They help both the science and hp-cluster team and the wiki contains some temporary information.

Scientific package maintainer
The sci team and its various subprojects are always looking for a general package maintainer to help our understaffed team. Tasks are troubleshooting, version bumping and stabilizing, new ebuilds and eclassed introduction.
Experience with Linux, various package build systems (autotools, cmake) and makefiles, and bash. sci CAD Programs
Computer Aided Design open source programs are getting more popular and yet to have decent support in Gentoo. We need to put an end on this.
Knowledge of a few CAD programs and good ebuild skills. sci
