Emmanuel FARHI

Hello,

My background is in science and engineering, as well as in scientific computing. I'm especially active in scientific programming, contributing to a large number of projects on gitlab/github/salsa (I already have a farhi-guest account in the latter).

I've been using Debian-class systems for about 25 years, and I now know quite a bit in Debian source packaging e.g. using devscripts tools. As part of my current activity, I've contributed into a large ITP/NEW/unstable/testing initiative for new scientific software (Debian Science), and I'm part of the Debian Photon-and-Neutron team/pure blend (debian-pan). Up to now we have pushed since 2020 about 300 new such packages (for X-ray and photon science), as well as many related lower level libraries.

I think it's time for me to reach a new level of contribution, especially regarding the pip/conda nightmare for which Debian ecosystem represents an appealing counterbalance towards stability and coherence of systems.

I'm eager to contribute to Debian and its scientific software stack.
