The year until now and ahead!

Happy New Year folks!! I know its a bit late. But looking back its been hard work and travel for the past 20 days this year already. Side effect: I am down with flu. Hope to get back strong in a couple of days.

So guys, wondering what kept me busy these 20 days? Been working for Hardy Heron. Gutsy wasn’t a great Release as far as the Science and related packages were considered and I don’t want a similar situation in Hardy. Been syncing a few new Upstream releases from Debian unstable, getting new and interesting packages (related to Science more specifically Electronics) into Hardy Heron.

One thing that has taken away most of my time and is not yet done is packaging Alliance VHDl CAD toolset for Debian/Ubuntu. Julien and Kumar (kmap) has been a great help to me here. Still MAGIC needs to be packaged and things need to be cleaned up at least 2 weeks before FF. (Schedule of Hardy).

Added the links to pages created by William Grant (Fujitsu) onto the MOTU Science Team wiki for others to check and if some interesting package has been left out, rise a Sync request. More work looming large.

This year is also gonna be a year full of travel with a lot of conferences planned. Already been traveling quite some amount (will blog it separately) this year. All in all I see 2008 a life changer for me. Wait for more news!! :D

Merry Christmas!
