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 and 2.9.2. 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
