Owner
- Name: Christian Dersch
- Email: lupinix@mailbox.org
- Release notes owner:
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 23
- Last updated: 2015-07-27
- Tracker bug: #1242917
- Kickstart File and F22-based test releases
Detailed Description
In both amateur and professional astronomy and astrophysics Linux is a very popular operating system. More and more data analysis is performed using Python, especially the astropy project is a quite new effort providing a professional toolchain. The Astronomy Spin provides a complete scientific Python environment (2 and 3) as well as the AstrOmatic software. For observational astronomy, KStars provides a complete solution for astrophotography using the INDI library. In addition to an astronomical collection of packages the spin also adds a menu for astronomy to make work more comfortable.
Benefit to Fedora
At the moment, there is no such distribution which offers a set of professional open-source tools for astronomers and astrophysicists and Fedora is very popular in astronomers' environment (that it is strongly linux-based).
