Re: Opinions: Debian for (bio)process engineering?
Hi Bernelle,
thanks for your interest in Debian Science.

As per etiquette everything is fine. :-)

It would be good to meet at DebConf15 to clarify things. I will
organise a Debian Science and a Debian Med BoF (no date is fixed yet,
however)

The current tasks (dataacquisition and engineering are so called "tasks"
in the Blends terminology) of Debian Science are crafted by those people
(in most cases only one or two people working actively on it) to fit
their needs. It also depends from the availability of software packages
inside Debian what can be assembled in the task in question. So may
be you need to package something first and assemble it later in a
dedicated bioprocessing / bioengineering task. Unfortunately I have
no idea what software is needed in this field - so I can not really
help here. I could imagine a vague overlap also with Debian Meds
Biology task[3].

You are perfectly welcome to ask more detailed questions here.
Kind regards
Andreas.
