| Hi dear members of the Debian Scientific Computing Team:
Daniel
thank you for getting in touch with the project,

| I introduce myself, I'm Daniel Rus, a spanish software developer that
| would like to apply for Debian Maintainer. I'm part of a spanish team
| which works in the development of a kind of computer language for
| statistics. We are using several free and non-free software packages like:

| MeTiS -> http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/views/metis/
the version of metis/parmetis is 3.1 (-4) pkg-scicomp has taken over the 
maintenance of metis/parmetis (metis is now shipped with parmetis)
I believe that I use the latest version of metis/parmetis

| SuiteSparse -> http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/SuiteSparse/
already packaged on pkg-scicomp, not yet uploaded

| ZipArchive -> http://www.artpol-software.com/ZipArchive/
I don't know about this one. It doesn't seem to be related to scientific 
computing, does it ?

|
| I've libtoolize and packaged them, although Metis has been already
| packaged by Adam C. Powell as libparmetis3.1, but it is already a bit
| old, and the mainstream has changed since 2005. The other two are not
| part of Debian, and both are free (under GPL).
If you want to help improve suitesparse support in Debian you are welcome !!
Just create a guest account and tell mw about it, I can then add you to the 
project.

| Previously to read this: http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint
| I thought to talk directly with Adam, but I'm not sure if I should get
| my PGP key signed before.


| I will appreciate any help you can give me about the steps I should
| follow. Thanks for read me, I'm living in Munich, so if some of you are
| living around, it would be nice for me if we could meet to chat a little
| bit.
pkg-scicomp welcomes both debian and non-debian developpers to create and 
maintain packages for scientific computing.
It is not necessary to get your pgp key signed to work on pkg-scicomp, however 
it is mandatory if you want to become a Debian maintainer/developer.

Best regards
C.
