Maybe the software guys here will find this cool :).
I'm working on an open source build tool (similar to Ant, etc). Github code:
https://github.com/chrisvana/repobuild https://github.com/chrisvana/repobuild
It's cool because:
* It makes it really easy to integrate new open source code. Want to compile against boost? Add one line. Want an ML library? Add another.
* Everything gets automatically pulled in.
* It makes it really easy to share your open source code with others.
* Works with a bunch of languages.
* Proven model from companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
My main project is using large scale computing (data from millions of CPU hours) to change how drug discovery is done. Drugs are very expensive because 98% of them fail. This hopefully changes that, and makes it profitable for companies to go after much smaller diseases that do not currently get attention. Papers forthcoming.
