Hello: I am learning to port software, and I noticed that much can be done in the CAD area. Some of Linux's programs are portable, but I started out with some of the Berkeley software at http://www-cad.eecs.berkeley.edu/Software/software.html Most of this software is excellent, but requires delicate porting and good bandwidth. Ptolemy (http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu), a package for DSP, already has patches for Fbsd available, but if not carefully ported (recompiling gnu stuff and itcl) can take 120M!. I clearly need more hands... anyone with nothin' else to do? What about declaring a (nonexclusive) CAD month, later a HAM month...etc until we reach Linux (.. or 4 CDs whichever comes first)? Of course I wouldn't want 20 persons working on the same port... we would organize it. Pedro.
