Hello All,

Tell us about yourself.?

 I majored in Computer Engineering, I started my career was Data Driven Application Developer Web/ Desktop for 1.5 year using Microsoft Development products (C#, ASP.NET SQL Server), the I moved to work as a validation engineer in driving assistance products for for almost 4 years which included development of some supporting tools, and then lately as component developer using C. 

I am quite comfortable using many programming languages, not exactly an expert in one of them, but quite familiar with many of them ( C/C++, C#, Java, Python).

have you used octave?

I did not get to be in contact with MATLAB, SCILAB and OCTAVE much at the beginning but after attending several courses in a masters degree that required the use of MATLAB, and given that I started three years ago using only Open Source Software for example Ubuntu ( started to move to Debian lately), I  thought there should be always an option for students and others to be able to perform scientific computations and simulations without having to pay a lot of many to do so. I knew that there where alternatives for MATLAB but not with the same magnitude and quality, so I thought I should be involved in development and promotion of a free alternative that will cover almost all what is needed to replace MATLAB. So I used Octave briefly not in depth.

have you compiled octave from hg sources?

I still did not get to compile octave from the hg sources.

What field of math. or physics do you enjoy?

I might say that I would prefer applied math, not a certain area in physics, but I might also add my interest in robotics.

So in general I am just a software engineer looking forward to help in something useful.This was little brief about myself I hope, that I my experience might be of benefit.Thank you.

Best Regards,

Khalid Al-Bouhi

Hello 

I was interested to volunteer in the development of octave, but I need to know where to start and further information on how things exactly work. Thank you

Best Regards,
