Hi Ghis, Welcome feel free to join. :) Good to know that there is also a Debian Science Team. I myself was not aware of that, but I think it would be great to learn from you guys, and see how we can help each other out. I have not really done any packaging myself, but I am curious to learn. For now we have chosen to focus on writing about some success stories of people using/working on Ubuntu/FLOSS software in science and getting a list of alternatives to closed source software scientists might be using. I have a background as a biomedical engineer, and also was brought up with MATLAB, but now I use mostly R and Python. (Also used Octave when I really needed to run some MATLAB scripts.)
