This page has been created in order to support possible meetings of people involved in CustomDebian (DebianEdu, DebianMed, DebianScience)
A meeting in Extremadura?
The original annoncement : http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/07/msg00002.html
- Other possible sources of funding (Extremadura offer is currently restricted to European developers) might be possible via DPL (as the announcement said)
Topics to work on
CDD toolkit
There are currently two toolkits that are intended to simplify and generally support common techniques of all CDDs.
http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/cdd.html is used to build Debian-Med packages so it is at least in use for one CDD but for certain reasons it was not widely adopted.
Moreover there is the newly developed CDDT toolkit that was intended to replace cdd-dev but the development was stalled.
Finally there exists the build system that is used for DebianEdu.
One goal for the meeting would be to create the base for a common toolkit that fits the needs for all CDDs.
DebianScienceCDD
On ["DebianScience/CDD"] it was discussed that one CDD for all sciences might be not useful because the needs are very different. While this is right in theory it is better to start with a common CDD and later split those from this common science pool where people will become engaged to actually do the work. It's similar in DebianMed: In principle it covers two fields: the "pure" medical part and the preclinical research part of microbiology. In the beginning of DebianMed there was an angry user who shouted heavily that we should leave out the biology part. The answer was: The biology part will be immediately separated from DebianMed if somebody starts a separates Biology related CDD. This statement is valid also today but up to now nobody volunteered to do the work.
So the strategy is simple: Support scientists in a common CDD at best we can, find out the advantages and drawbacks of every field under one roof and separate things where interest is growing and separation makes sense finally. It sounds like ?DebiChem ( http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debichem/ ) would be a good candidate.
To start working there is a first list of potential packages at ["DebianScience/Classification"] that should most probably be reduced to become practically usable (we just do not have reasonable dependencies for all) but it could be a good starting point for an Extramadura meeting.
