Welcome to the MOTU Science team. We are responsible for the upkeep of science packages within the Universe repository. Check out the [http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/science/ Science], [http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/math/ Mathematics], and the [http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/electronics/ Electronics] sections of the repositories for packages that might fall under this category.

Goals

• Make sure science packages are synced from Debian.
• Make sure Debian knows what packages are in Ubuntu but not in Debian.
• Make sure Ubuntu science packages actually work. Some need to be tested and bug reports need to be filed.

• Package some of the programs found at [http://www.gnomefiles.org/category.php?cat_id=6 gnomefiles.org] and [http://www.kde-apps.org/index.php?xcontentmode=280 kde-apps.org] for inclusion into Ubuntu/Debian.

Packages in Ubuntu but not in Debian

For documentation on: BR

• getting a package sponsored in Debian try the [http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html Debian mentors FAQ].

• how to send "Intent to Package" (ITP) or "Request for Package" (RFP) reports look at [http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ WNPP].

Packages we would like to include in Universe

These are programs that are not yet packaged for Debian/Ubuntu but would be nice to have:

• [http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1123 FlowDesigner] - "FlowDesigner is a free (GPL/LGPL) data flow oriented development environment. It can be used to build complex applications by combining small, reusable building blocks. In some ways, it is similar to both Simulink and LabView, but is hardly a clone of either." (Kyral is looking into this) -- Its in REVU now - (Kyral)

• [http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=471 Gabedit] - a graphical interface to Gaussian, Molcas, Molpro and MPQC computational chemistry packages.

• [http://ktechlab.org/ KTechlab] - KTechlab is an IDE for electronic circuits and microcontrollers.

• [http://frsl06.physik.uni-freiburg.de/privat/stille/kpl/ Kpl] - a program for two- and three-dimensional graphical presentation of data sets and functions. Debian ITP [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=348015 348015].
