Alex Lancaster
All of my packages are available for other primary maintainers to pickup. I have to reduce the amount of time I can spend on Fedora, but would like to be kept on as a co-maintainer
Packages: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/alexlan?acls=owner
Mainly interested in packaging bioinformatics tools for Fedora. Member of SciTech SIG.
- List of packages I own from PackageDB
- Specs and SRPMs for packages-in-review on alexlan.fedorapeople.org
- Fedora Account System: alexlan
- I am also an RPM Fusion maintainer.

Ready for review
Other packages I'm interested in maintaining, or helping to maintain
- SAGE: the open-source computer algebra/mathematics framework (this is a huge package with many dependencies and will require work from multiple maintainers).
- Bioconductor: bioinformatics packages for R. Many of these packages are now included in Fedora, Pingou is trying to make this a Feature.
- E-Cell: GPL-licensed cell simulator for systems biology
