I'm the lead developer on Axiom. Axiom was originally developed over a 23 year period at IBM Research (I was one of the original authors). It was eventually sold to NAG. Axiom used to be sold commercially as a competitor to Mathematica and Maple. In 2000 it was withdrawn from the market and released as open source. See http://wiki.axiom-developer.org I'm also the lead developer on Doyen. Doyen is a scientific computing platform based on LiveCDs (similar to Knoppix). See http://daly.axiom-developer.org/doyen Doyen is intended as a vehicle to make scientific software available at computational science conferences. We attempt to work cooperatively to bring together the best available talent and tools. I signed up for the developer mailing list so I can understand what the current concerns are for Scientific Linux and to connect with developers who have an interest in working together.
