[SIP-devel] SIP windows version and other stuff

[Ricardo F. <rf...@if...>]

Hello, all,

I know I have been taking a long time to answer emails, requests,
contributions, and to update the windows version of SIP (Scilab
Image processing Toolbox).

But I am glad to give you a good excuse. This August I am going to
start PhD at Brown University, USA, on digital image analysis!  I was
awarded financial support from the Brazilian govenment to
work with Drs. Benjamin Kimia and F. Leymarie, at the Computer
Engineering department. In the meantime, I will be very busy (and
happy) finishing my MSc dissertation and packing things up.

Therefore, I've only been able to maintain the Unix version of SIP; the
windows version will have to wait a bit, although I will be trying to do
something in every tiny stretch of time that I can get. We need
contributors if SIP is to be ported to Windows sooner than I can.
My intensive activity on SIP shall return by September and hopefully
continue for a long time. In the meantime, I will be trying to
answer emails and requests as possible.

Another good news is that I am a contribution memeber of the new
Scilab consortium. This means that the voice of the SIP community is
now stronger to decide Scilab issues. Something I will be striving
for is that Scilab moves to GPL or LGPL (keeping the INRIA/ENPC copyright).

cheers,
Ricardo.
