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.
Hi Abhishek,
Will you maintain packages for both x64_64 and i686, or just one of them?
I'll be able to maintain packages for both x86_64 and i686 (on a Core 2 Duo and Core Solo respectively).
Regards, Abhishek Dasgupta

I'm happy if new people with double arch will enter in TU group, because I think that they can helping us to mantain i686 and x86_64 trees synced ( see www.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html ), that is many times ignored.
So, I hope abhidg pass the vote!

i cannot agree more. i'm not a TU but if a dev can give a vote here, you have mine. you are competent it seems and you have both arches... enough to have a start. lets keep the arches in sync.
in addition you are interested in scientific pkgs as i am, since i use them myself too (mainly molecular biology things).

Thank you! Happy New Year to everyone in the happy Arch-world!

I've had a quick look at your packages. Overall they look pretty solid. I have send some small remarks to you by e-mail.
