About this project

The purpose of this project is to explore and pursue grant applications for the ecosystem of open source computational and database software for pure mathematics and applications (GAP, LMFDB, Linbox, Pari/GP, Sage, Singular, ...), in order to get funding in Europe for:

• Full time developers, students, etc working on those general purpose technical tasks that don't fit well in the "developed by users for users" model and thus can't be funded indirectly through usual research grants.
• Workshops (e.g. Sage Days, Pari Days, joint Sage/Singular days, ...) for development and training, smaller developers meetings, training sessions, travel, visits, ...
• Hardware and computational resources (e.g. cloud),
• Subcontracting to other projects,
• Buying teaching relief, partial funding of senior researchers to work on software aspects, ...
• Postdocs with e.g. strong computational or software design research topics,
• Fostering collaboration and symbiosis within and between software components and developer communities.

Proposal accepted

OpenDreamKit: Open Digital Research Environment Toolkit for the Advancement of Mathematics: a European H2020 application for the call EINFRA-9: e-Infrastructure for Virtual Research Environment.

In thinking

A COST network targeting a large consortium and focused on community building around open source computational math software. This is a recurrent call from the EU, and there is a good opportunity here. What's missing at this point is someone to take the lead. Volunteers?

Join!

If you are tentatively interested in participating, in particular for the Cost proposal, please join the mailing list, and send an e-mail there with:

• Name, e-mail
• Status, institute
• trac & github account if you have them
• Whatever ideas you may have for the proposals

We will add you to the collaborators on this github project so that you can start editing the information. In particular, check and edit the information in the COST consortium .. and target feature files.

You are welcome to explore other opportunities for grant applications, centered for example on teaching, ...
