A major blocker would be the use of the GPLv3 licence. Regards, Peter From: science-iwg-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:science-iwg-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of Matt.Gerring@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Hello Yoel, I think your software is python based? There is no reason why a python project cannot join the group. Eclipse foundation does allow projects in languages other
than Java. With DAWN, we distribute python and Pydev and could distribute your work with the product, although we do not normally do this for UI. I suppose you already know about Euro scipy 2015?

On Behalf Of Yoel Koenka Hi to all of the members in the Eclipse Science working group. My name is Joel Koenka, a 3rd year PhD in the group of
Prof. Peter Hauser In the past few years, we've started using Arduino for controlling our various instruments, and I realized the need for a GUI framework for scientific instruments. Currently, this market is controlled by
LabView (National Instruments). This is a very powerful software, but also very expensive. On top of that, many
people find it hard to use, and specifically in our research group it led to frustration. So being an experienced programmer, I set out to build a GUI framework for scientific instruments, that lets system developers to have powerful custom user interfaces for their systems,
while requiring the minimal programming effort from them. This is key, as most system builders (at least in academia) have little or no programming experience. I called it
Instrumentino to imply it's meant to control Arduino based instruments, but I wrote it in a more general way, so other microcontrollers can be used instead (such as RaspberryPi, RedPitaya, etc.). Attached to this email are two article (one already published and the second to be published soon) about
Instrumentino. The reason I'm writing to you, is that I want to keep developing
Instrumentino, making it the open-source alternative to LabView, and to enable instrument developers have good and effective GUI programs to control their experiments. To do this, I need some help. I've been developing
Instrumentino alone for quite some time, and being a busy PhD student, I realize I need help.
Also, I hope to be able to integrate code pieces from other projects, adding capabilities to the system. So I propose this as a project in the science working group. Is anyone interested?
