Comments on Spin and Merging
by Bob Stricklin 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

I am interested in your Astronomy Spin package for use in controlling some radio astronomy work i am planning. I need a way to plan observation schedules and then to control a dish antenna and collect and catalog data for later analysis. I think your Spin tool as stated is mainly for optical viewing but it should be possible for me to apply it for my needs without too much effort I feel. It beats me having to develop something from scratch. It will also have some capabilities I had not thought of including I hope. This is an self funded amatuer effort on my part so I am making slow but steady progress. I do not think I will be able to use the data analysis tools but I will try them out and make sure I know what is possible. On the Merging of the groups…. Feedback here has been slow. I am mostly interested in Astronomy and worry that the merger may turn into a distraction. I really do not know anything about the other group though. I subscribe to Nature and Nature Physics. In those publications they cover a lot of ground and I find myself focused on Astronomy/Cosmology but occasionally reading other things. I mention this because it seems like a similar idea will take place if the merger goes forward. Thanks for all your efforts.

Is Fedora Astronomy alive? Feedback wanted!
by Christian Dersch 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi Fedora astronomers! Are you stil alive? I've sent a couple of mails about our possible Spin, future etc. and got no response :( One new idea (some people on fedora-devel list and me had) is a merge of Astronomy and Scientific Spin. Maybe we could go one more step and merge Astronomy SIG into SciTech SIG? Because Astronomy is also science and at least all this python packaging stuff does also happen @SciTech. Your opinions?

*feedback really needed* Fwd: Re: [council] #35: Requesting trademark approval for Astronomy Spin
by Christian Dersch 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

Hi astronomers, below you can read the councils feedback to my trademark request. IMHO mattdm is right and we should use a name like "Astronomy Suite" (which I prefer). ***Please comment!*** Greetings, Christian -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [council] #35: Requesting trademark approval for Astronomy Spin Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2015 15:20:58 -0000 From: council <trac(a)fedorahosted.org> Reply-To: council-discuss(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: council-discuss(a)lists.fedoraproject.org #35: Requesting trademark approval for Astronomy Spin ------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: lupinix | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: Trademarks | Resolution: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by mattdm): This will probably go under http://labs.fedoraproject.org/, rather than the new spins page, which is focused on desktop environments rather than application software selection. For that reason, we probably want a different exact name - maybe "Astronomy Lab" or "Astronomy Suite"? Other than that, this seems straightforward. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/35#comment:1> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets

Submitted Astronomy Spin for review
by Christian Dersch 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hello astronomers, I submitted the Spin for review :) Test of the mail I've sent: Hello, I would like to submit a Astronomy spin for review and possible inclusion in future Fedora releases. The Astronomy SIG provides a more and more complete toolchain for astronomers, so I think it is time to bring a nice Fedora bundle to the astronomers out there In some parts the spin is similar to the Scientific Spin (it uses KDE, provides a scientific Python environment), but observatory control and observation planning is completely new. Spin page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Astronomy_Spin Test Isos based on Fedora 22: https://lupinix.fedorapeople.org/AstronomySpin/ Kickstart File: https://lupinix.fedorapeople.org/AstronomySpin/fedora-livedvd-astronomy_kde… Greetings, Christian

Astronomy spin – first test file
by Christian Dersch 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Hi Fedora astronomers, finally I prepared a test version of our Astronomy Spin based on Fedora 22 :) ISO: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0GyAETE2cElejlXNXc1X2tEU3c&authuser=0 SHA256 Checksum: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0GyAETE2cElbGpxbnZ1S0hyRVE&authuser=0 Kickstart file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0GyAETE2cElWFpzLUhmWEJpU1k&authuser=0 For included packages confirm kickstart file. I want to bring the Spin officially into Fedora 23. Any opinions and improvements are welcome :) Greetings, Christian
