- xiaq 12y agoThanks for the information! I like how their idea of "space-related open source projects" seems to be pretty liberal; I see octave, among other general scientific computing software, in SoCiS last year. Unfortunately their timeline lags behind GSoC quite a bit (organization application ends at 15 Mar this year), so I am going to apply to GSoC anyway and only use this as a fallback :-|
- Manishearth 12y agoThis is brilliant. As a physics student who also loves programming and open source, I'm going to share this everywhere :D
- jordigh 12y agoGNU Octave has done SoCiS a few times. And we prefer the synonym "free software" for what we do instead of "open source". If you're into maths and C++ and perhaps Matlab, look for us.
- Manishearth 12y agoI like Octave. I'm a Mathematica user (sorry), but I've used Octave a bit and found it pretty nice :)
- jordigh 12y agoYou don't have to apologise to me for using Mathematica. My professional goal is to make sure that you will some day have no need for Mathematica, just like you probably have no need for Internet Explorer in the face of Chrome or Firefox. If my goal hasn't been met yet, it is me who should apologise. I'll keep working towards that goal.
