Re: Introduction and Scientific Computing Workstream for the EWG

Hello Kyle,
I lead the advocacy and communications for the Foundation. I love learning about new users! Can we schedule a call to learn a little more about how you are using FreeBSD? If so, share your availability and I’ll send a calendar invite.

Thanks and I look forward to talking!
Kim

I work on microservices design and machine learning and drone / satellite imagery analysis for companies out of St. Louis and Kansas City. I'm a FreeBSD user (and advocate) and I'm new to the enterprise working group. Looking to help out where I can.

Might pro-offer better coverage in ports for Python 3.11/3.12 (or native anaconda) and statistics software for stan/pytorch/xgboost/catboost as well.

If there are other folks here pursuing work with FreeBSD for scientific computing, I'd be interested in giving some time to pursuing this as its own workstream under the EWG.
