Dear All I'm happy and proud to announce that a repository for free chemometric software (in particular Python oriented) has started. at www.chemometrics.it Some time ago I've sent an email to the ICS asking if anybody knows the esistence of a python repository for chemometrics, I had a positive feedback from the community and with the help of other chemometricians I've decided to gather free software available for doing common chemometric tasks. In the site you will also find a forum where to discuss -> theoretical aspects of chemometrics -> job opportunities and cooperation with other chemometricians -> software request/news I've tried to link to existing sites that already give a huge contribute to chemometrics (KVL,Chemometrics.se just to cite two of them) but I will be very glad if you would like to contribute with your own links I hope this initiave could help to spread chemometrics and the use of free routine/software for chemometrics but that it also will become a place of discussion for anybody interested. Obviously we need your help and enthusiasm. If you would like to upload software links, routines etc, just register for free and do it, it's just so easy and you are very encouraged to do it. The initiave is just at its beginning so feel free to report any technical problem Any kind of feedback is appreciated Since it's a no profit personal initiave (I bought the domain and the rent the hosting) finally let me say that any mirroring or hosting will be greatly appreciated. I hope that this initiative will be useful ;) Best Regards Giorgio Luciano -- -======================- Dr Giorgio Luciano Ph.D. Di.C.T.F.A.
