[Yt-dev] Written interview floss4science.com

[FLOSS FORSCIENCE]

Hi.

My name is Edwood Ocasio and I am the founder of
http://www.floss4science.com, a site about open source software in science
and engineering. I will like to publish a written interview about the yt
Project as a featured post in floss4science.com

I worked for 20 years as a professor of computer science, mathematics and
statistics in different universities in Puerto Rico.  You can easily find
traces of me on the web.  I also have a group for an Spanish speaking
audience interested in open source software for scientific computing (
http://groups.google.com/group/compcilibre).

* The interview publishing process *

1. I will send you a private link to drafts of the interview before
publishing it to allow you to make corrections.
2. Your photo and/or screenshots of your software can be included. The
photo is not a requirement.
3. Interviews will be queued for weekly publishing. I will notify you the
expected publishing date.
