The goal for this page is to collect material around the ideas discussed at [http://dc5video.debian.net/2005-07-17/Using_Debian_for_science_research-Helen_Faulkner.mpeg Helen Faulkner's talk] at [wiki:Self:DebConf5Talks Debconf5]. |

== Some ideas emerging from Helen's talk == (please complete) * The dedicated mailing list [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/ debian-science] has been created [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/07/msg00000.html thanks to Pascal Hakim] ([http://murphy.debian.org/lists/debian-science/details.html mailing list statistics]). And if you wonder why the mailing-list reply-to is set to the author instead of the list itself, [http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html here] are some explanations. * DebianScience could also be a [wiki:Self:CustomDebian CDD project]. * It could also be turned into a ["LiveCD"]. [http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian/ Quantian] already does much of this. * Development frameworks (should be painless): * kdevelop for KDE * Anjuta for Gnome * [wiki:Self:DebianScienceOctave Is Octave really usable]? The main differences or missing features with respect to Matlab should be documented. * [wiki:Self:DebianScienceDataPlotting Easy and simple tools to plot data] (possibly separate by scriptable and/or gui, plotting for papers vs for 'exploring' data) * Necessity of a [wiki:Self:DebianScienceFortran good Fortran integration] * Requires also libs (e.g. for FFT) which are often present in add-ons for commercial compilers (FFTW connection in Fortran working now?) * Useful tools for writing papers - word processing and !LaTeX * LyX (LaTeX front-end providing LaTeX perfect results in beautiful easy-to-use WYSIWYM environment) * kile (KDE LaTeX editor) * winefish (GTK-based LaTeX editor - a fork of bluefish) * openoffice.org (office suite - good but not 100% !["MSOffice"] filters) * Useful mathematical libraries * [wiki:Self:DebianScienceFftw FFTW and FFTW3] (Fast Fourier Transforms) * [wiki:Self:DebianScienceBlas ATLAS and LAPACK] (Linear Algebra) * [wiki:Self:DebianScienceGSL GSL] (special functions, pseudorandom numbers, optimizers, solvers, etc. etc.) - ATLAS and LAPACK and BLAS will be installed by default dependencies if you install GSL in debian sarge * ["GLPK"] (linear, integer and mixed programming library) == Links already inside Debian project == * DebianScienceDebianLinks == Upcoming events == * Michael Banck's [https://www.debconf.org/comas/general/proposals/65 talk proposal] at [https://www.debconf.org/ debconf 6]. * DebianScienceMeetings == Outside links related to science or scientific projects == * DebianScienceOtherLinks |
