A "Fedora for Citizen Scientists" spin may be confused with my spin in development, Fedora Netizen, a portmanteau of internet and citizen. Suggest sticking with Fedora Astronomy or as an alternative, Fedora Space, for reducing any confusion between the two spins. On Sat, Jun 27, 2015 at 12:38 PM,

Seems like the easiest path would be to make sure all the astronomy packages land on the Science / KDE spin that already exists and do a lot of marketing / blogging / etc. to a targeted group of "citizen astronomers".

I already thought about a "Scientific & Astronomy", but I don't know a nice way to promote it. Astronomy is also just science… But if we only call it "Scientific", we loose the amateurs. I'm an astronomer and physics student (=> I promote Scientific Spin quite often at courses) and know the communi

Additional info: Of course an "Astronomy Tools" group is a nice idea too! But it doesn't replace the Spin as the "download, boot and try it" idea doesn't work without a spin. On 06/26/2015 10:28 PM, Christian Dersch wrote: > Hi, > > I'm the change owner. The benefit is a ready to work Fedora for

Hi, I'm the change owner. The benefit is a ready to work Fedora for astronomers. One special reason for the KDE desktop is KStars. It is part of the KDE project and the leading free software for observatory control. There are no Gtk equivalents and I really don't want to ship a GNOME-based spin
