Thanks for the tip Aanjhan.. but could you give some more insight into
the topic...
A brief overview of the FOSS Tools used in research activities in the
fields of Bio Medical, Physics, Chemistry and the likes. Whats lacking
and what can be improved! whats there already in the repositiories.
How to start contributing etc. for eg Ubuntu has these list of science
packages neatly categorised. There is also a good amount of toDo stuff
that we (as part of the MOTU Science team of Ubuntu) keep adding on
this page.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Teams/Science ;(The tiber server is down
and hence to know the package differences between ubuntu and debian
you can use this alternate link
http://laserjock.us/ubuntu/versions.html)
People in this domain who have already used some of the packages could
give demos. Some packages can be found here.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/science/ ;(Note: These are packages
that will go in gutsy, the next release of Ubuntu)
You can also mail up the "FOSS IN Science" mailing list for more
tips. They seem to be doing a pretty decent job too.
