Re: joining the science team to package spaCy & gensim
Hi Paul, In the past Andreas Tille and I tried to get spaCy into the archive since it is really useful (in my research projects), and is sometimes more convenient than NLTK (I'm the uploader). Both NLTK and spaCy suffer from a problem -- they cannot be fully functional without pretrained models. And you know this is exactly what the ML-Policy is discussing. I think you can simply work on the existing repositories. New repos can be created under the deep learning team if you like.

Re: Introduction and joining the debian-science/robotics team
Hello Daniele, welcome to the team! Feel free to create an account on salsa, request an access to the Science team and you can safely work on your packages there. When you are ready or have a question, you can always ask in a team. You will definitely find someone to communicate. Almost all robotics packages are successfully maintained in the science team. Please add your packages on salsa and ask for sponsoring, when you think, they are ready to be reviewed or/and uploaded. Best regards Anton Daniele E. Domenichelli schrieb am Mi., 26.

Bug#969088: ITP: esdm -- Earth System Data Middleware for earth system simulation
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Alastair McKinstry * Package name: esdm Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Author : Julian Kunkel * URL : https://github.com/ESiWACE/esdm * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : Earth System Data Middleware for earth system simulation The middleware for earth system data is a prototype to improve I/O performance for earth system simulation as used in climate and weather applications. ESDM exploits structural information exposed by workflows, applications as well as data description formats such as HDF5 and NetCDF to more efficiently organize metadata and data across a variety of storage backends. It is planned to maintain this within the Debian Science team; it is a growing piece of "expected functionality" on systems running climate models.

joining the science team to package spaCy & gensim
Hi all, My employer is interested in having spaCy and gensim in Debian. https://spacy.io/ https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/ I noticed that there is a spaCy package in the team's repository although it is not yet in Debian and gensim is also a natural language processing tool so the team seems like the right place for it too. https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/spacy I have used stdeb to create internal packages of spacy, gensim and their missing dependencies. The packages all build, some tests fail and the packaging needs cleanup and fixes. I would like to import the packages into the team and work on completing them. Some of the dependencies are probably more suitable for the general Python team or possibly the machine learning team, so I'll import those elsewhere. I've submitted my request to join the salsa project.
