Hello, I'm Abhishek Dasgupta, from India and right now, I'm doing a Masters in Science (we'll be choosing our majors in the fifth semester). I've been using computers for a long time, and I know a bit of python, shell scripting and of course C, C++. I think that Arch does not have a significant presence in the scientific community. I wish to make Arch a viable choice for a scientist to use, by maintaining more popular scientific packages in [community], in addition to other packages. I've maintained one or two pages in the Wiki (not much :) ), and these are the packages I've in AUR right now (my username is abhidg in the AUR and the forums): ariadne bbpager blueman btsco ghemical libghemical liboglappth lightspeed num-utils pandoc weather xfce4-time-out-plugin Most of these I use myself, or have packaged because it could be useful to others. My introduction is now over, and I'm looking for someone to sponsor me (if any). If you have any questions, please do ask them. -- Abhishek Dasgupta http://abhidg.mine.nu http://abhidg.wordpress.com
