Hello, my name is Jonathan Stepp |

I am an undergraduate physics major and I have been using Gentoo for about |
| 4 |
four years. I have really enjoyed the freedom and control Gentoo has given |
| 5 |
me over my computing environment, and I would like to be able to continue |
| 6 |
to use Gentoo in the future in physics. |

The aim of my project would be to help update and write ebuilds for some |
| 9 |
key scientific computing and high-energy physics packages. Specifically, I |
| 10 |
am hoping to |
| 11 |
1. Write an ebuild file for the HepMC3 library |
| 12 |
2. Write an ebuild for the caffe deep learning framework |
| 13 |
3. Test newer versions of the PYTHIA high-energy physics simulation tool |
| 14 |
4. Writing an ebuild for the Fermilab art framework |
| 15 |
5. Look for any other important open-source physics tools to integrate into |
| 16 |
Gentoo |

I am working on writing up my proposal now. I have uploaded a patch for the |
| 19 |
bug linked below (although the visibility seems pretty low, should I submit |
| 20 |
a pull request?) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Anyway, I am looking forward to working with everyone here, either through |
| 23 |
this project or just in the Gentoo community as a whole. |

Thanks! |
