Hi Ghis,

Welcome feel free to join. :) Good to know that there is also a Debian
Science Team.
I myself was not aware of that, but I think it would be great to learn from
you guys, and see how we can help each other out.
I have not really done any packaging myself, but I am curious to learn.
For now we have chosen to focus on writing about some success stories of
people using/working on Ubuntu/FLOSS software in science and getting a list
of alternatives to closed source software scientists might be using.
I have a background as a biomedical engineer, and also was brought up with
MATLAB, but now I use mostly R and Python. (Also used Octave when I really
needed to run some MATLAB scripts.)

Kind regards,

Willem
