Announcing the Debian Astro Pure Blend
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hi,
After our blends package was accepted some time ago, and we got our
logo, I would like to officially announce the new "Debian Astro" Pure
Blend.
Debian Astro is a spin-off from the Debian Science Pure Blend with the
goal to support both professional and amateur astronomers.
Infrastructure
==============
We created a mailing list [1] for discussions about astronomy related
topics for users as well as for developers.
An Alioth project [2] was set up for team maintenance of our packages.
We use git for package maintenance [3].

[2] https://alioth.debian.org/projects/debian-astro
[3] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/
Blends Tasks
============
These tasks will be available to ease the installation of Debian Astro:
* Catalogs
* Data Reduction
* Education
* Publication
* Simulation
* Telescope Control
* Tools
* Viewers
* Frameworks
* Python
* Python3
* Tcl/Tk
* GDL
* Development
A description of the tasks as well as the package lists for each task
are available from the Blends web sentinel [4], which can be also
reached from the Debian Astro Blend home page [5].

[5] http://blends.debian.org/astro/
Status
======
Currently, we have ~80 source packages in team maintenance. The total
number of packages in the Blends Tasks lists is currently >200. Packages
include state-of-the-art analysis frameworks like Astropy, but also
important legacy packages. Our goal is to deliver the first version of
the Blend together with the release of Debian Stretch.
Sprint
======
We plan to have a Debian Astro Sprint in late summer this year in
Germany and would like to invite all interested to join us.
Thanks
======
We would specifically thank Andreas Tille who helped a lot setting up
the blend, and Maria Hammerstrøm who created our nice logo.
Best regards
Ole
