Name: Michael "wart" Thomas
Country, City: US, Pasadena
Profession: Scientific Software Engineer
Company: Caltech
Goals in the Fedora project: To push for the inclusion of more Tcl
extensions. I have a number of personal projects that make use of
various Tcl extensions, and I'm just tired of typing "./configure ; make
; make install" to install it on clusters of machines. I'd rather type
'yum install ...' to save a few keystrokes. :) In particular, I'd like
to help get tclhttpd and the various Tcl xml/soap extensions included in
Fedora. I wouldn't mind doing QA on other packages, either, in my
limited free time.
Qualifications: I've been developing software for the scientific
community for 10 years now. I've managed one fairly quiet project on
SourceForge for over a year (ciphertool), and I am one of the main
developers on another SourceForge project (clarens). I'm also starting
to contribute packaging-related patches to a handful of other projects
(all tcl-related). My programming languages include C, Tcl, Java, and a
smattering of perl, python, and C++.
