bugs and working on Octave in February 2012, mainly to fix some | |||
compilation problems I had with the newest version on an older Red Hat | |||
Enterprise 5.2 system I use at work. One thing led to another and I am | |||
now learning my way around the code base, helping to fix bugs, test, | |||
etc. | |||
My main areas of interest within | My main areas of interest within Octave are stability and consistency of | ||
user experience, portability, particularly to different versions of | |||
GNU/Linux and Unix, and the [[Signal package|signal processing]] | |||
and [[Communications package|communications]] | |||
packages. My primary development environment is Debian GNU/Linux. | |||
