Hi all,
I'm Vincenzo a scientist (Physics) at the Imperial College London. I'm
enjoying both Linux and Ubuntu almost from their respective birth.
In my research group we all use Ubuntu, but I would like encourage also
my students.
Honestly I do not have a lot of time but I will do my best in order to
help as much as possible!
Cheers
Vincenzo

Hi Alejandro & the rest of the team.
I'm Diego Turcios. I have been working with Ubuntu since 2008. I'm not
actually a scientist, but a computer science engineer.
I like the idea of a blog or web magazine. Count with me if the team
need help in this.
Regards
Diego

Hello Ubuntu-scientists group members
I hope everything is going well.
I was happy to see 17 members in the group. I would like to hear
everyone's story, so whenever you have time please introduce yourselves.
About the Whiteboard items:
Whiteboard set to:
1) help scientists find FLOSS alternatives
2) get universities to teach FLOSS instead of proprietary software. (or
at least mention/show it...)
3) get scientists to be more involved in Ubuntu
4) try to convince scientist to make a career in FLOSS development
1) is the easiest
2) is very difficult, we will have to ensure there is teaching material
3) I actually don't know what to do here specifically.
4) I think we should highlight good success stories of people who
focussed on creating FLOSS in the academic/business world
I think that all four items are great ideas but I think "scientists" is a
very broad term and therefore would become an endless endeavour.
I also think that we can accomplish a great deal by using the fourth
comment (highlighting success stories).
So I had an idea about doing a blog, webmagazine or other, with science
success stories using Ubuntu. Actually thinking like scientist, fail stories
would also help others greatly.
Since we are a very small group we should concentrate our efforts and not
try to do too much at first.
Any comments to my ideas are welcome.
Take care.
Best regards.
J. Alejandro Oliva T.
