I also recently become a release manager for Sage and I chaired a number of releases: 2.8.11, 2.8.13-2.8.15, 2.9, 2.9.2, 2.10 and 2.10.1.

Hello, I study math at the University of Dortmund. Most of the time I spend with SAGE is dedicated around packages and their portability. I added valgrind support to Sage 2.8.3 and have been using various valgrind tools to investigate Sage's memory consumption.

I also recently become a release manager for Sage and I chaired a number of releases: 2.8.11, 2.8.13-2.8.15, 2.9, 2.9.2, 2.10 and 2.10.1-3, 2.10.4 (together with Robert Miller). Since it looks like few people want to do this job it is very likely that I will do a lot more of those.

Task Table

Currently Working on

  • Probably chairing the current Sage release
  • Solaris port of Sage.
  • FreeBSD port of Sage.
  • Cygwin re-port of Sage.
  • DMG installation image for MacOSX

  • optional spkgs: CoCoA 4.7.x, ApCoCoALib & CoCoALib, g++ 4.2

  • hunt mem-leaks in C/C++ code of Sage
  • DebianSAGE
  • whatever else currently needs fixing

Short Term

  • [:windows:port Sage to Windows]
  • build unified Setup.py for gdmodule - less important now due to drop of the Cygwin drop (officially)
  • multivariate polynomial arithmetic via CoCoALib
  • computation of approximate vanishing ideals via ApCoCoALib (needs multivariate polynomial arithmetic via CoCoALib)
  • check targets for various SAGE packages like gmp and linbox
  • make all packages using BLAS/Lapack use the Accelerate Framework on MacOSX. Patch for Linbox exists and will hopefully show up in Linbox svn soon

Long Term

  • F4/F5 in CoCoALib with interface to SAGE

Interesting Ideas

  • port SAGE code to MinGW/MSVC - probably done when hell freezes over - but one can at least dream.
  • fix pari issue on cygwin - details FIXME

Done Tasks

  • See the Changelog, the google groups sage-devel and sage-support and #sage-devel on freenode.

Other Software Interests

  • Windows gmp port
  • Linbox with MSVC
  • Porting mathematical open source code to Solaris, Windows and any odd Unix out there.

Places where I can be found

  • google group sage-devel
  • google group linbox-devel
  • google group linbox-use

  • [http://apcocoa.org/forum/ the ApCoCoA & CoCoA forum]

  • #sage-devel on freenode
